“Are we not really an increasingly cruel age? Perhaps we are: but I think we have become so in an attempt to reduce all virtues to kindness. For Plato rightly taught that virtue is one. You can not be kind unless you have all other virtues. If, being cowardly, conceited and slothful, you have never yet done a fellow creature great mischief, that is only because your neighbor’s welfare has not yet happened to conflict with your safety, self-approval, or ease. Every vice leads to cruelty. Even a good emotion, pity, if not controlled by charity and justice, leads through anger to cruelty. Most atrocities are simulated by accounts of the enemy’s atrocities; and pity for the oppressed classes, when separated from the moral law as a whole, leads by a very natural process to the unremitting brutalities of a reign of terror.” EvilVirtueTerrorCrueltyC S Lewis Quotes Author:C.S.Lewis
