It should bring a closer kinship, a better understanding, and a deeper sympathy for the wayfarers who must live a common life and die a common death.” MenShouldFactsHelpingUseFeelingsPainJoyDiesUnderstandingCommonEffortConsciousnessAcceptingPathJourneyEasierMen And WomenFellowsDeeperInevitableTravelerFleetingDoomBrighterBrevityKinshipBest EffortConsiderateCommon LifeBrevity Of LifeFellow Travelers Book:Why I Am an Agnostic and Other Essays Source: Why I Am an Agnostic and Other Essays
