Mike,

<<However, honor is what has brought the world to where it is today. It was honor that won the American Revolution, not compassion. It was honor that built Rome, not compassion>>

Slave labor built Rome. where is the honor in that? It is completely debatable weather or not honor has anything to do with those historical occurences.

<<Compassion does not build, it only patches the cracks that appear after the honorable men are done with their job. Compassion is a luxury that is built upon the honor of our fathers' blood.>>

Compassion helps to erase the cracks in the foundation left by the overzealous and the uncaring. Compassion is not a luxury it is the true foundation of society, for without compassion, yu have no glue to hold the disparate pieces of society together.

<< Honor is held in higher esteem by people who build, compassion is held in esteem by people who maintain.>>

Honor is a facet of ego, and only occasionally does it have anything to do with building. compassion is what builds love and trust amongst people. compassion is the true bridge builder.
