Whoever is spared personal pain must feel himself called to help in diminishing the pain of others. We must all carry our share of the misery which lies upon the world.

Albert Schweitzer
About This Quote

Although many people are not aware of it, there is a war going on in the world. The war is between people who are conscious and those who are unconscious. Conscious people realize that they should help out in any way possible. Those who are unconscious do not realize that they must help their fellow humans.

They see other people suffering and instead of offering assistance, they criticize them for making a mistake or for not having done enough to make their lives better. This is why it is so important to make the world a better place. The more conscious people there are, the better the world will be for everyone.
