“When men are inhuman, take care not to feel towards them as they do towards other humans.”
“When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace.”
“All men have a sweetness in their life. That is what helps them go on. It is towards that they turn when they feel too worn out.”
“Each of them always gravitating toward the other. Yet still they do not touch.”
“When you accept a leadership role, you take on extra responsibility for your actions toward others.”
“honor our sense of right and wrong-- our sense of what others need from us and how we ought to act towards them... Because we go against this sense-- because we fail to act as we feel we should-- that we grow resentful and feel alienated. We convince ourselves that others are making our lives intolerable. On the other hand, when we treat them as we feel we should, we have no occasion to feel this way. We can care openly for them because caring, not selfishness, is our "natural" condition (in computer jargon, our "default setting"). We alienate ourselves from theirs when we compromise our integrity, and we care for them when we don't.”
