A comment on Desmond Tutu, anti-apartheid icon, dies at 90. Parent comment
"If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse, and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality."
The moral obligation Tutu captured with that aphorism has affected me immensely over the years.
Also:
“All of our humanity is dependent upon recognizing the humanity of others.”
