Since human beings are necessarily interdependent, every human action is both self and other regarding. When we develop ourselves we awaken others to their potentials and inspire, encourage and raise them up aswell. And when they fall others suffer damage too. For me human beings cannot degrade or brutalize others or inflict emotional or moral damage on others without inflicting it on themselves. This happens in three ways;
1.To degrade others is to imply that human beings may be so treated, and thus lower the moral minimum due to all human beings from which all alike suffer.
2. To degrade others is to damage their confidence and self-respect, and potential for good, and so both deny the benefits of their possible contributions and to increase the Collective moral, psychological and financial cost of repairing the damage they were likely to do to themselves and others.
3. As beings capable of goodness and self awareness, we could not degrade or mistreat others without hardening ourselves against our victim’s suffering, we build up distorted systems of self justification, roughening our moral sensibilities and lowering not only our own moral standard but that of humanity.
As Gandhi said “no man takes another down a pit without descending into it himself and sinning in the bargain”.
This is the basis of my philosophy of loving kindness. We should not only learn HOW to be good people but WHY we should be good people.
In Deepest Kindness,
D

In life everyone has baggage. The important thing is to check and see if the handles and zippers are broken.
