Cowardice asks the question, “Is it safe?” Expediency asks the question, “Is it politic?.” Vanity asks the question, “Is it popular?.” But, conscience asks the question, “Is it right?.” And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because one’s conscience tells one that it is right.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
No man treats a car as foolishly as he treats another human being. When the car will not go, he does not attribute its annoying behaviour to sin; he does not say ‘you are a wicked motorcar and I shall not give you any more petroleum until you go'. He attempts to find out what is wrong and to set it right.
Bertrand Russell.
Human behaviour has reasons, not causes.
Szasz.
If you ask me human behaviour has reasons and "unreasons" too.
But never causes.....
I mean that people can act irrationally but irrational behaviour is not "caused"
it has "reasons" too...
???
More to follow....
