“Purity of heart is to will one thing.”
— Søren Kierkegaard, Edifying Discourses in Diverse Spirits
“You too must be of good hope as regards death… and keep this one truth in mind, that a good man cannot be harmed either in life or in death, and that his affairs are not neglected by the gods.”
— Socrates, in Plato’s Apology
It’s really hard to explain why you like certain people, and dislike others. Sometimes, it’s only a matter of seeing yourself in someone, without any ethics involved.
In a society that tries to dictate what you do and say, one that reduces you to groups, one that tries to control your sense of morality through social customs, it’s hard to muster up the courage to truly be yourself... if ever you even managed to learn your ‘self’.
