As essential as it is across our traditions, as real as so many of us know it to be in particular lives, the word \"compassion\" is hollowed out in our culture, and it is suspect in my field of journalism.
Sepenting apapun welas asih dalam tradisi kita, sedekat apapun kita mengenalnya, dalam kehidupan praktis, kalimat \"welas asih\" sebenarnya kosong makna dalam budaya kita, dan sangat dicurigai dalam bidang jurnalisme.
