Charity is in the heart of man, and righteousness in the path of men. Pity the man who has lost his path and does not follow it and who has lost his heart and does not know how to recover it.

The principle of self-cultivation consists in nothing but trying to look for the lost heart.
Mencius

Gerald Rudolph Ford Jr.

Arthur Conan Doyle
-
It feels like every person is using their whole brain and heart to figure out these nearly impossible dilemmas about how we do our work, with our principles, in the current conditions.
