When a movement decides that compassion is an impediment to their goals, it is time to end the movement, because it can only do evil from that moment onward.

Motives matter. You can sometimes get away with doing the right thing for the wrong reason, but bad motives tend to bleed through in ways large and small.
Bring your motives up to snuff. All it requires is wanting to do things for the right reason even if it's not convenient.

The word docga existed in Old English (and is of unknown origins), but was more like "cur" in terms of being a dog of low standing and also an insult to people. So the word wasn't invented in the 13th century (Middle English period), but it overshadowed hound for unclear reasons.
