Quote
La norma judeo-cristiana de amor fraternal es totalmente diferente de la ética de la equidad. Significa amar al prójimo, es decir, sentirse responsable por él y uno con él, mientras que la ética equitativa significa no sentirse responsable y unido, sino distante y separado; significa respetar los derechos del prójimo, pero no amarlo.

Quote
