The principle of compassion is at the heart of all religious, ethical and spiritual traditions, always calling us to treat all others as we wish to be treated ourselves. Compassion drives us to work tirelessly to alleviate the suffering of our fellow men, to dethrone ourselves from the center of our world and put another there, and to honor the inviolable holiness of each human being, treating everyone, without exception, with absolute justice, fairness and respect.
