Summary

This quote emphasizes the contrasting attitudes between governments and individuals. It suggests that governments, as collective entities, often prioritize their own agendas or interests over the well-being of the people they govern. In contrast, individuals â€“ as personal beings â€“ are portrayed as caring and empathetic, more inclined to prioritize the needs and concerns of others. The quote invites reflection on the potential for compassion and altruism in individual actions as opposed to the perceived lack of consideration often associated with governments.
