Abstract


Compassion is an attitude that have been attacked and qualified as an undercover selfishness or as a injurious pose. None of them contributes to help the unfortunates. Even more, spoliation and harms suffered by persons, take to figure out how to «save» those lives, not allowed to loose them and assess life is worth it. Owing to this, compassion or mercy has to be thought in order to get the right place in the health care system. Its ethical meaning, therefore, goes through the rational explanation –what it is- and it features –fragility, misfortune, recognition, solidarity-. Symbols ought to think, and ethical thought is nurtured by the Good Samaritan text.
