“At the center of all virtues is compassion…Compassion must be the central emotional approach that we take to every ethical issue…Compassion and its various terms—love being a prominent one—are fundamental to every major world religion... It isn’t enough to sit around and calculate ethical solutions, that if they don’t come from a sincere place of caring and love for your fellow person, then why are you in this business in the first place? I mean we can create a computer program that calculates some ethical flow chart that you go through to make your ethical decision and that could be it. There’s more to it than that.”
