Compassion

HARO, Spain (CNN) -- A Spanish businessman withdrew a controversial lawsuit Wednesday against the family of a teenage boy he struck and killed while driving a luxury car.

Tomas Delgado had filed a suit asking the dead boy's parents to pay him €20,000 ($29,400) on the grounds that the collision that killed their teenage son also damaged his Audi A-8.



This story blows me away. How could there be so little compassion? While this an extreme case, it amazes me that poeple can have so much feeling for a thing and so little for a human being.

How would you define compassion?
