Compassion is not a popular virtue. Very often when I talk to religious people and mention how important it is that compassion is the key that it's the sine-qua-non of religion people look kind of balked and stubborn sometimes as much to say what's the point of having religion if you can't disapprove of other people?
People are at their happiest if they are true to themselves. I think that applies to their chosen profession friends and relationships. It goes for your health too. If you are true to yourself it seems to me everything should work out pretty well.
