We cannot sympathize with others unless we think that we are not exempt from such suffering.Let your pupil not, therefore, look down from the height of his honor on the sufferings of the unfortunate, and the labors of the wretched, and you will not be able to teach him to sympathize with them if he thinks these remote from him.To make him aware of the reality that the fate of these unfortunate people may one day be his fate, with his feet on the brink of an abyss, and at any moment there may be hundreds of unpredictable and irresistible Unfortunately, he also fell into the abyss.Teach him not to believe in birth, health, and wealth, let him see the vicissitudes of fortune, show him examples, of which there are only many, and those of a higher rank than he fall even worse in the circumstances.Whether it was their own fault or someone else's, it has nothing to do with us for the time being. He still doesn't understand what a fault is.
