  1. A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

    An unconscious, easy, selfish person shocks less, and is more easily loved, than one who is laboriously and egotistically unselfish. There is at least no fuss about the first; but the other parades his sacrifices, and so sells his favours too dear.

    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
    Essay (1880-01/02?), “Reflections and Remarks on Human Life,” § 5 “Selfishness and Egoism”

  6. A quotation from The Bible

    Nothing is to be done out of jealousy or vanity; instead, out of humility of mind everyone should give preference to others, everyone pursuing not selfish interests but those of others.
     
    [μηδὲν κατ᾽ ἐριθείαν μηδὲ κατὰ κενοδοξίαν ἀλλὰ τῇ ταπεινοφροσύνῃ ἀλλήλους ἡγούμενοι ὑπερέχοντας ἑαυτῶν, μὴ τὰ ἑαυτῶν ἕκαστος σκοποῦντες ἀλλὰ [καὶ] τὰ ἑτέρων ἕκαστοι.]

    The Bible (The New Testament) (AD 1st - 2nd C) Christian sacred scripture
    Philippians 2: 3-4 [NJB (1985)]

  13. Just watched a movie on Prime called The Last Full Measure, a story about a hero during the Vietnam War. Very moving. A true story. A full cast - Plummer, Hurt, Harris, Jackson, and more. Highly recommend, even if you hate Amazon & the Vietnam War as I do.

  18. Love in #society will only come about when we expand our love. Righteousness in society will only be possible if enough of us decide to expand our personal #righteousness. Just society can only be a sum total of our #unselfishness.
    But it is not just a matter of summing up. We are walking this path together and can support each other. The #human #community, #culture and #civilization must begin to purposefully promote this growth. Let us try.

  19. A quotation from Vonnegut, Kurt, Jr.:

    «
    I told her that what made being alive almost worthwhile for me was all the saints I met almost anywhere, people who were behaving decently in an indecent society.
