Above all things let us never forget that mankind constitutes one great brotherhood; all born to encounter suffering and sorrow, and therefore bound to sympathize with each other.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The Son of God became incarnate in the souls of men to instill the feeling of brotherhood. All are brothers and all children of God.
If the whole of mankind is to be united into one brotherhood, all obstacles must be removed so that men, all over the surface of the globe, should be as children playing in a garden.
Brotherhood means laying down your life for somebody, really willing to sacrifice yourself for somebody else.
The opportunity for brotherhood presents itself every time you meet a human being.
Brotherhood is not just a Bible word. Out of comradeship can come and will come the happy life for all.
Let us remember that sorrow alone is the creator of great things.
There cannot be enduring peace, prosperity, equality and brotherhood in this world if our aims are so separate and divergent, if we do not accept that in the end we are people, all alike, sharing the Earth among ourselves and also with other sentient beings, all of whom have an equal role and stake in the state of this planet and its players.
However, without considering this connection, there is no doubt but that more good than evil, more delight than sorrow, arises from compassion itself; there being so many things which balance the sorrow of it.
In order to speak about all and to all, one has to speak of what all know and of the reality common to us all. The sea, rains, necessity, desire, the struggle against death... these are things that unite us all.
The keenest sorrow is to recognize ourselves as the sole cause of all our adversities.
