The capacity for getting along with our neighbour depends to a large extent on the capacity for getting along with ourselves.The self-respecting individual will try to be as tolerant of his neighbor’s shortcomings as he is of his own.
The remarkable thing is that we really love our neighbour as ourselves: we do unto others as we do unto ourselves. We hate others when we hate ourselves.
We are tolerant towards others when we tolerate ourselves.
We forgive others when we forgive ourselves.
We prone others to sacrifice others when we are ready to sacrifice ourselves.
A war is not won if the defeated enemy has not been turned into a friend.
