Applications of it are more varied; someone with a high compassion may be a ruthless warlord, because he believes he has to be ruthless in order to give everyone the greatest good - because he knows just how much everyone suffers and thinks that he can't do much else to lower suffering on a wide scale.<br/><br/>High Compassion doesn't mean 'war healer'.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>Compassion is sub-conscious reaction to suffering which bypasses rational thinking. What you describe is high-Compassion, high-Conviction character, and his Conviction is probably higher.<br/>Same goes for the other Virtues, of course - high Conviction impedes your ability to accept you might be wrong, and so on... ;)
