Is compassion a MORAL OBLIGATION?
22 Mar 2022
We have moral obligations. But what are they? And is compassion one of them? In this video I am going to extend myself a little into the realm of ethics and morality! No easy task. But the more I have been thinking about compassion, the more I have begun to wonder, is compassion in fact a moral obligation? In other words, is compassion, and especially taking compassionate action, something we are morally obliged to do? So let’s dive in and have a think about all that. I suspect this video will provide more questions than answers, but let’s see how we go.
