Exactly @ the bolded

"Compassion" and "asshole" will always be subjective. You can be the most compassionate person in the world until it comes to something that you feel strongly about with no compromise and no empathy. That can be interpreted by others as being an asshole. I truly believe that every conscious and fully functional human has at least ONE THING that they are an asshole about. That includes humans who are unable (for any reason) to put their thoughts into words and actions.
