  1. A quotation from Bertrand Russell

    Hostility to the status quo may be derived from either of two sources: it may spring from sympathy with the unfortunate or from hatred of the fortunate. If it springs from the latter, it involves just as much limitation of sympathy as is involved in conservatism. Many revolutionaries in their day-dreams are not so much concerned with the happiness that is to come to the common people as with the vengeance that they will be able to wreak upon the insolent holders of power from whom they are suffering in the present.

    Bertrand Russell (1872–1970) English mathematician and philosopher
    Education and the Social Order [Education and the Modern World], ch. 1 “The Individual versus the Citizen” (1932)

  10. History has to be rewritten in every generation because, although the past does not change, the present does; each generation asks new questions of the past, and finds new areas of sympathy as it re-lives different aspects of the experiences of its predecessors.

  15. A quotation from Einstein

    Our situation on this earth seems strange. Every one of us appears here, involuntarily and uninvited, for a short stay, without knowing the why and the wherefore. In our daily lives we feel only that man is here for the sake of others, for those whom we love and for many other beings whose fate is connected with our own.
     
    [Seltsam erscheint unsere Lage auf dieser Erde. Jeder von uns erscheint da unfreiwillig und ungebeten zu kurzem Aufenthalt, ohne zu wissen, warum und wozu. Im täglichen Leben fühlen wir nur, dass der Mensch um anderer willen da ist, solcher, die wir lieben, und zahlreicher anderer, ihm Schicksalsverbundener Wesen.]

    Albert Einstein (1879–1955) German-American physicist
    Essay (1932-09), “My Credo [Mein Glaubensbekenntnis]”

  28. @VeroniqueB99 I really think sadism against bad guys is not a good thing to indulge in at all! All it does is make you more like them, it actively impoverishes you! Don't give in to the urge! You will be better off for it! Please cultivate sympathy even for the worst if you don't want to end up just bringing yourself down to their horrific level. I am begging you, I am begging you, I am begging you! Please do not do this, you are throwing your soul into a burning pit of garbage for quick laughs. Know that whoever replaces him is just going to be another republican of equal depravity, so his death will be in vain anyways. "Diddly dong, the mitch is dead" is fun to say but will just make you into a cold monster. Knock it off! All you are doing is hurting yourself! You guys are hurting yourselves! Mitch McConnell is unaffected by dancing on his grave, whilst you are degraded. @anneguisinherba @Natsura @HappyCrow13 @em_and_future_cats @jhooper @Oldfartrant #sympathy #compassion #empathy #kindness

  43. Patience is the master key to every situation. One must have sympathy for everything, surrender to everything, but at the same time remain patient and forbearing.
