“To conclude this discussion, assessment of justice demands engagement with the 'eyes of mankind',first, because we may variously identify with the others elsewhere and not just with our local community;second, because our choices and actions may affect the lives of others far as well as near;and third,because what they see from their respective perspective of history and geography may help us to overcome our own parochialism.” FirstsWellsMayHelpingEyeActionChoicesCommunityJusticeMankindPerspectiveDemandThirdsOvercomingLocalsDiscussionEngagementElsewhereGeographyAssessmentLives Of OthersOur ChoicesLocal CommunityParochialism Book:The Idea of Justice Source: The Idea of Justice

“When you are born without the ordinary feelings and emotions shared by most other human beings, life looks different to you. It seems at times like a movie you’re walking through, more a spectator than a participant. There is above all a lack of empathy with most of mankind, a sense of detachment. But with detachment comes perspective.
