“Very little of the great cruelty shown by men can be attributed to cruel instinct. Most of it comes from mere thoughtlessness or inherited habit. The roots of cruelty, therefore, are not so much strong as they are widespread. And yet the time must come when inhumanity protected by custom and barbarity sanctioned by thoughtlessness will succumb before compassion championed by moral thought and justice defended by moral deeds … Let us all work that this time might soon come.” ~ inspired by Albert Schweitzer
