"If man cannot redeem himself of his everyday tensions through words, the archaic primitive demands within him grow more and more awakened. The world falls prey to his accumulated obsessions, and in the end collective madness breaks through. Let us talk now, so that we do not become mad animals!" - Dutch-American psychoanalyst Joost A.M. Meerloo, from "Conversation and Communication".


"Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful. Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For the measure you give will be the measure you get back." (Luke 6:36-38 RSV)


"Therefore you have no excuse, O man, whoever you are, when you judge another; for in passing judgment upon him you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, are doing the very same things..." (Romans 2:1-5 RSV)


“Compassion for animals is intimately associated with goodness of character, and it may be confidently asserted that he who is cruel to animals cannot be a good man.” - Arthur Schopenhauer


Remember the Golden Rule. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". Karma, as called by some, will invariably return to bite you if you don't abide by that.
