Malasakit

Malasakit (as it was described to me by my mentor and boss) is a Filipino word that is both Compassion and Discretion. The way its used is interesting  because its meant to imply using discretion to do what is good. the discretion part makes it seem doing what is good is a complicated matter lolz.
I'm one of those who don't believe that there are Native words that cannot be captured in english or another language, just words with differently combined ideas. So Malasakit is Compassion with Discretion its like saying: don't get too caught up with your emotion, you have to weigh some pros and cons.

Of course It could be his definition lolz.
