Quote by William Hazlitt

The smallest pain in our little finger gives us more concern than the destruction of millions of our fellow beings.


The smallest pain in our little finger gives us more concern

Summary

It highlights the selfish nature of human beings and how we often prioritize our own well-being over the well-being of others. It serves as a reminder to consider the broader perspective and empathize with the sufferings of those around us.
