Justice over compassion

The trick I think, is the courage to hold the hard and soft simultaneously. I’m more interested in justice than I am in mercy. I think compassion is really important but compassion without discipline is anemic. And so do you have the courage to be tough, focused, goal-oriented, driven, but simultaneously caring, compassionate, and open minded. That’s the balance that I think none of us do perfectly because it’s such a hard thing to hold both sides of things. But what makes us interesting as human beings are the contradictions, the goofiness, the silliness. It’s not hiding our imperfections.
