About This Quote
The quote “What differentiates brother most from brother and beast is neither purpose, perspective nor prowess. It is simply intent.” is an interesting one in that it is in fact a reference to the Buddhist concept of “intentions” and the importance of our intentions when we interact with others. Brother here refers to someone we share blood with. We may be related by blood, but we are not brothers by nature.
What human beings share is mind and spirit. Our shared humanity is what bonds us together.
