There was some wisdom written about this, almost 2000 years ago: 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 : "If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing." To paraphrase: truth without love (e.g. being an asshole) is just ineffective noise. (Conversely, love without truth is not love at all.)
