The Guidelines of Humanity


To live is to exist in expense of another human

 

To be born with selfish desire is human

To learn generosity is human

To befriend another is human

To protect yourself from the world is human.

 

To learn from others is human

To force beliefs on another is human

To protect others is human

To protect one's beliefs is human.

 

To err is human

To live life with others in mind is human.
