humanism [Theme] Page 5

Love is not only one mankind, but also for all the living... that's the highest manifestation of this noble attribute of a morally developed man of humanity.

What a pity that it is impossible to destroy in one fell swoop all the stupidity and cruelty, not destroying people.

... the wells of humanism in our souls, seemingly on the Ground bottomless, are drying up with frightening speed. Holy Micah, we were real humanists back on Earth, humanity was a skeleton of our nature, the worship of Man, our love for the Person we dokatyvayutsya to anthropocentrism, and here suddenly was horrified to catch myself thinking that I loved not the Man, but only the Communards, Earthling, equal to us... We often catch ourselves thinking: "enough, people do this? Are they capable of becoming men, at least over time?"

To divide a skin of not killed bear stupid, but humane.

General anxiety increased, and with it grew and irritation; finally some practical people, remember that there could be useful to medieval torture, for example, "Spanish boots" the executioner, tongs and molten lead, which was unleashed language most stubborn silent, and boiling oil, test water, rack, etc.
Why not use these tools? Indeed, in former times, did not hesitate to use them in matters much less important, very little affecting the interests of the peoples.
But we must still admit that these funds, which were justified by the mores of earlier times, is not suitable to use in an age of kindness and tolerance in an age of so humane as our XIX century, marked by the invention of magazine rifles, semiilliterate bullets with incredible range, in the century in international relations permits the use of bombs containing explosives ending in "itis."

Recently there has been a rejection of racism and patriotism and a tendency to the object of our fraternity was all of humanity. Such a humanistic extension of our altruism leads to an interesting consequence, which, again, apparently, supports the evolutionary idea of "the good kind". People who hold liberal political views, which are usually the most staunch advocates of "species ethics" often Express the greatest contempt for those who went to your altruism a little further, extending it to other types. If I say that I'm more interested in protection from extinction of large whales than improving the living conditions of the people, I'm shocked that some of his friends.
The belief that members of your own species deserve special protection compared to members of other species, has long been deeply rooted in man. To kill a man in peacetime is considered a very serious crime. The only action by which our culture imposes a more severe ban, is cannibalism (even in the case of eating of corpses). However, we eat other species.

The time will come when humanity will be humane to every creature that breathes.

Want to see unbridled, primeval rage in its purest form, please, it is only necessary to bring to a white heat staunch humanist.

I'm too decent to be a humanist. If I give our neighbor the shirt, you will freeze and die and put the middle in an awkward position.

As a humanitarian, I hate war. This activity is for animals. And yet, no animal fighting as hard as people.

If all the poor knew and loved the art so much, that themselves would disappear dirt, despair, self-abasement and the rich would not allow himself to tramp underfoot and despise the poor.

Humanism needs to be selective.

As long as people will massively to continue to kill animals, they will kill each other. The one who sows the seeds of murder and pain, do not reap joy and love.

Humanism boys do.
