'Human beings are members of a whole,
In creation of one essence and soul.
If one member is afflicted with pain,
Other members uneasy will remain.
If you've no symphaty for human pain,
The name of human you can not retain!'
In creation of one essence and soul.
If one member is afflicted with pain,
Other members uneasy will remain.
If you've no symphaty for human pain,
The name of human you can not retain!'
Saadi, Persian Poet (1184 till 1283-1291?)
