“The purpose of human life is to serve, and to show compassion and the will to help others.”
— Albert Schweitzer (1875 – 1965)
German-French polymath, philosopher, physician & Nobel laureate
I am confident our purpose does not include mocking, scorning, or judging those who believe differently than we do. We all have the same human rights to be both right and wrong. Compassion bridges differing perspectives. Regardless of hateful, divisive, distrustful, or misguided rhetoric, we all win when we exercise patience, especially with those who lack compassion.
