To feel much for others and little of oneself, to restrain one’s selfish nature, constitutes the perfection of human nature. No one in this world is perfectly independent. Everyone is in need of the assistance of others. Everyone is placed in society to receive and confer reciprocal help and mutual obligations. Food, clothes, health, protection from injuries, enjoyment of the comforts and pleasures of life – all these one owes to the assistance of others.
Therefore, one should be benevolent and a friend to humankind. A benevolent person rejoices in the happiness and prosperity of his neighbour and all people. One should not wait for extraordinary circumstances to do good actions but try to use ordinary situations.
