But, you know, the issues of humanity and what is fair treatment and good treatment of a fellow human being should not really be based on a personal sense of right and wrong or judgment.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
To me you cannot be fully human, fully civilised, unless you recognise humanity in everyone.
There is a high bar for something to be considered a human right. Loosely put, it must be among the things we as humans need in order to lead healthy, meaningful lives, like freedom from torture or freedom of conscience.
There is no limit to suffering human beings have been willing to inflict on others, no matter how innocent, no matter how young, and no matter how old. This fact must lead all reasonable human beings, that is, all human beings who take evidence seriously, to draw only one possible conclusion: Human nature is not basically good.
None are more unjust in their judgments of others than those who have a high opinion of themselves.
Fair treatment of human beings and animals in many different realms strikes a chord with me.
I do think human beings cannot be faulted for wishing to judge themselves and their lives and their achievements by others around them; that is a natural human feeling.
I always think you have to show a degree of humanity and sensitivity when you're dealing with people in extreme circumstances.
Everyone's values are defined by what they will tolerate when it is done to others.
We should be tolerant, fair, open, and we should understand the rights that all people have in our society.
I think a lot of the source of how people are treated depends on the fact if someone recognizes them as a human being or not, you know what I mean?
