I'd say compassion, empathy are wonderful traits to have and cultivate, but should never be mandated or become policy.

Of course it's become politicized.

Compassion and understanding could make this world a much better place and it is a great medicine against ones own bitterness.

compassion is the mask over feeling sorry and sorry is the mask over self importance that you are better off than the wretch you feel compassion for.
Self important people have volumes of compassion and will careers as politicians, Philanthropists etc etc as vehicles to dish out their compassion which is really just their own self important egos.
