Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

And if your friend does evil to you, say to him, I forgive you for what you did to me, but how can I forgive you for what you did to yourself?

And if your friend does evil to you, say to him, I forgive y

Summary

This quote emphasizes the power of forgiveness, even in the face of wrongdoing. It suggests that if a friend hurts you, you can still choose to forgive them for their actions towards you. However, it highlights that the real harm lies in what they have done to themselves and their own character. By forgiving them, you acknowledge their self-destruction and make them aware of the consequences of their actions. Ultimately, the quote encourages forgiveness as a way to guide someone towards self-reflection and growth, rather than holding onto resentments.

Since we are not yet fully comfortable with the idea that people from the next village are as human as ourselves, it is presumptuous in the extreme to suppose we could ever look at sociable, tool-making creatures who arose from other evolutionary paths and see not beasts but brothers, not rivals by fellow pilgrims journeying to the shrine of intelligence. Yet that is what I see, or yearn to see. The difference between raman and varelse is not in the creature judged but in the creature judging, and when we declare an alien species to be raman, it does not mean that they have passed a threshold of moral maturity. It means that we have.
