Dam it!

How do you fix an overflowing river? Dam it.

My brain, the overflowing river if you will, was twisting around sharp rocks and drowning everyone in sight when I decided I needed to slow this ship down. My dam - a question I cant answer. Do I value compassion over competence?

Of course at first I jumpped all over compassion. Saying you value compassion the most makes you seem like an ethical person. Of course humanity isnt humane so... then youre just a liar. However that works the opposite way too. Saying you value competence in an inept world suggest that you are the only competent one alive, how egotistical of you. I dont think egoism is a sign of true competence either.

So finally I decided I value a combination of the two but not either alone or either above the other. A compassionate person without competence is a waste of vehemence. A competent person without compassion is a waste of a mind.

Well...
I feel like
I just spoke
For no reason
Whatsoever so
peace love and asia
