231216 What I learned in my studies this morning 4

Studies in mornings
Are more satisfying than
Thoughts at the day's end.

Today's Meditation(s):

(So what do I do? I add the images and write the opening, then leave it until almost 2200....)

So how do we relate to people? Follow Kant and treat them always as an end instead of a means. Treat them always as fully human, worthy of basic love and respect, as important as myself. Approach them with kindness and humility.

All of this is possible. Whether or not I can achieve it in particular is in doubt. But I must make the attempt. If being a Sage is impossible, I can at least work at progressing toward that perfection, trying to learn to respect others more and to correct critical thoughts I have. Recognize them as having all the rights I have.
