Humanity either makes, or breeds, or tolerates all its afflictions.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Human beings tolerate what they understand they have to tolerate.
Though all afflictions are evils in themselves, yet they are good for us, because they discover to us our disease and tend to our cure.
The notion that the species can be improved in some way, that everyone could live in harmony, is a really dangerous idea. Those who are afflicted with this notion are the first ones to give up their souls, their freedom. Your desire that it be that way will enslave you and make your life vacuous.
Affliction is the wholesome soil of virtue, where patience, honor, sweet humility, and calm fortitude, take root and strongly flourish.
If it was necessary to tolerate in other people everything that one permits oneself, life would be unbearable.
Only the unloved hate; the unloved and the unnatural.
People are perfectly glad to accept the idea that dogs love us, so they must be able to love each other.
Immorality, violence, and divorce, with their accompanying sorrows, plague society worldwide.
The ways in which people treat animals will be reflected in how people relate to one another.
All the arguments to prove man's superiority cannot shatter this hard fact: in suffering the animals are our equals.
