Among all the animals, we human beings are the ones with by far the most power to foresee the results of our actions and with the greatest interest in the welfare of other individuals. We are also the animals with the greatest variety of purposes.

The difficulties inherent in being human explain why we should be patient with one another. We should not be surprised if others have purposes or beliefs that conflict with ours, rather. Rather, we should be surprised and grateful when this does not occur. We are all groping our way, partly blindly, in the difficult task of being animals largely set free from instinctive guidance. We are all engaged together in creating each moment a partly new world. And none of us can make more than our own decisions, even if we can influence the decisions of others.
