“When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: the people I deal with today
will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous and surly. They are
like this because they can't tell good from evil. But I have seen the beauty of
good, and the ugliness of evil, and have recognized that the wrongdoer has a
nature related to my own - not of the same blood and birth, but the same mind,
and possessing a share of the divine. And so none of them can hurt me. No one
can implicate me in ugliness. Nor can I feel angry at my relative, or hate him.
We were born to work together like feet, hands and eyes, like the two rows of
teeth, upper and lower. To obstruct each other is unnatural. To feel anger at
someone, to turn your back on him: these are unnatural.”
