“People often don't talk about other people's thoughts and feelings. Many people don't even care. And when they do, they usually speak from a completely different point of view. How difficult it is for us to escape from the prison of subjectivity. From personal ego. From prejudice and assessment of profit and loss which basically only puts forward self-interest. How difficult it is to accept other people without having to consider who they really are. Why can't we escape from the burden of selflessness. Why is it difficult to do good solely for the good itself.”
