->''[[AC:What it means to be human. The abstraction which outlines each psyche that constitutes mankind's existence. The aggregate of sentiments that we carry for ourselves and for others. An aspect of our being that I found obsolete, [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans in a time where progress was key]]. Truly, compassion is anathema to progress. A weakness I could not afford to carry at such a crucial time. In recognizing this, I cast mine aside to focus all my being on crafting mankind's future. My work to be hindered by personal attachments no more. In that time, [[IDidWhatIHadToDo it was my only choice]]. But now, [[CrapsackWorld in an age of the ruthless, the hateful, the prejudiced]], [[SubvertedTrope I need it returned to me]]. I mean, [[HeelRealization to be human once more]].]]''

They have more people with experience to lead and govern, because those people aren't seen as a threat to the person in power. They're seen as an asset to the community.\\
The sorts of people who would like to take, and never give back, are the sorts of people who would call this "weakness." But their strength is a brittle one, and it can be ended with the briefest notice of anyone above them.\\
