Too much kindness and respect are given to the unseen and not enough to humanity. It seems that in our nature we loathe each other and bestow our respect and love on the abstract.
Men tend to have the beliefs that suit their passions. Cruel men believe in a cruel god and use their belief to excuse cruelty. Only kindly men believe in a kindly god, and they would be kindly in any case.
Kindnesses are easily forgotten; but injuries! – what worthy man does not keep those in mind?
Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle.
