Quote
... on the historical scale, the damages wrought by individual violence for selfish motives are insignificant compared to the holocausts resulting from self-transcending devotion to collectively shared belief-systems.

People only treat us as best as their ability allows them; if you deserve more, try as much as you can to treat them better.
