Interesting Mark, I would suggest that "compassion" flows from the "trust" domain more than the other way around. Being compassionate toward your fellow countryman comes after you trust them. You can't have trust unless you have trustworthy people. Trustworthiness flows from a common set of principles around which people believe. "I hold these truths to be self-evident". How? Truths are meaningless unless trust is involved. Society needs trust in government, in ourselves, and in our leadership, in order to unleash the compassion of its people.
