Biblical orthodoxy without compassion is surely the ugliest thing in the world.
We live in a time when science is validating what humans have known throughout the ages: that compassion is not a luxury; it is a necessity for our well-being, resilience, and survival.
From compassion springs humility. The ego is verily a gateway to hell. The person who is egoistic is far from being religious.
The wretched have no compassion, they can do good only from strong principles of duty.
