Would that make any difference?
Do people really care?
The most important word in this is “every”,
I am afraid that if people are honest unless it
was someone close to them, they wouldn’t care
at all.
I think Brother William has a nice sentiment, but it can only be a reminder not to be callous, rather than a prescription that must be fulfilled to the letter. It’s not possible, I suggest, to actually carry out what he says. It would require constant investment of massive ammounts of emotional energy – which nobody can do.
So, Anonymous – the observation that people don’t show such care except to those they are close to doesn’t necessarily reflect a bad situation – merely a realistic one in which people have to pick and choose. It’s only bad if those who need help – and show it – don’t get it, because people make the wrong choices.
I reckon, anyway.
I think the quote is about treating people as ends rather than means,
or as pockets of concentrated infinity/spirit rather than props in a one-man show.
hmm, bit of a stretch, I reckon, but alright – if that’s what’s meant then it seems like a Good Thing
who’s he……….an undertaker?
