Well morality doesn't necessarily imply or demand compassion.
For example: I have a warehouse full of all the fucks I cannot give about other peoples' shit. Those fucks are reserved for emergencies, like a friend ending up in the hospital or a woman being raped in an alley, shit like that. But I cannot freely give out my fucks to just anyone other than that. There are no fucks given for shit involving someone and their boyfriend or girlfriend. There are no fucks given about someone getting their dream career. There are CERTAINLY no fucks given for people outright refusing to do a damn thing to even try to help themselves, and you cannot conceive the amount of fucks I cannot give about rich people getting taxed more.
Morality demands nothing in the way of my fucks and those situations.
Kudos for excessive use of the word fuck.
It does somewhat matter when you're talking about the Golden Rule. If you don't give a shit about people all together then you're likely to not give a shit about how they feel when you hurt them or steal from them.
