When we see someone in need, who’s homeless for example, I think it’s wrong to automatically feel bad for them.
I think we’ve somehow come to believe that because a person is in need, they’re candidates for sympathy, not just charity.
We don’t just want to buy them groceries, we want to buy them dignity.
And yet, by judging them, we’re the ones taking away their dignity in the first place…
In an argument, even if we are right and the other person is dead wrong, we only destroy ego by causing another to lose face. We have no right to say or do anything that diminishes a man in his own eyes. After all, what matters most is not what we think of him, but what he thinks of himself. Therefore, always preserve the dignity of others. In an argument, always let the other person save face.
