COMPASSION

Affirmation of life is the spiritual act by which man ceases to live thoughtlessly and begins to devote himself to his life
with reverence in order to give it true value.
— Albert Schweitzer

- Seneca, Letters


"he who does not know that he is doing wrong does not wish to be set right. Before you can reform yourself, you must realize your error. Some people glory in their faults. Do you suppose they have any thought for the remedy? Surely not, since they count their bad habits as virtues! Bring an accusation against yourself, as stringently as you can. Then conduct the investigation. Take the role of the accuser first, then the judge, and let that of the advocate come last. Offend yourself sometimes!"

- Seneca, Letters 28.10
