...But you must do something more. Seek always to do some good, somewhere - Albert Schweitzer

Keiner darf die Augen schliessen und das Leiden, dessen Anblick er sich erspart, als nicht geschehen ansehen.

Defined from outside and quite empirically, complete civilization consists in realizing all possible progress in discovery and invention and in the arrangements of human society, and seeing that they work together for the spiritual perfecting of individuals, which is the real and final object of civilization. Reverence for life is in a position to complete this conception of civilization and to build its foundations on what lies at the core of our being. This it does by defining what is meant by the spiritual perfecting of man and making it consist in reaching the spirituality of an ever-deepening reverence for life.

Gutes tun will überlegt und gelernt sein.
