I thought I'd share this quote with you. "The toughminded person always examines the facts before he reaches conclusions; in short, he postjudges. … But we must not stop with the cultivation of a tough mind. … What is more tragic than to see a person who has risen to the disciplined heights of toughmindedness but has at the same time sunk to the passionless depths of hardheartedness?"—Martin Luther King Jr.
This was posted recently on the Skeptics Society's web page (see links section on this blog to take you to their pages). I'm sure many other pages will have posted this quote over the last day or two following MLK Day in the USA.
Strikes me, that this is about compassion as well as the verification of facts; sounds rather like the Buddhist way!
