Terry PratchettAnd sin, young man, is when you treat people like things.
About This Quote
When we treat people as things, we dehumanize them and ignore their character and humanity. If we treat people as objects, we treat people as though they are not worthy of our respect or care. This applies to both oneself and others. When we see someone as an object rather than a human being, we create a distance between ourselves and that person.
We think of them as something to be used, possessed, or destroyed. But if we look deeper into the matter, we see that the person is a human being who deserves respect and care.
