As Dr. Albert Schweitzer tells us:

 

" I cannot but have reverence for all that is called life. I cannot

avoid compassion for everything that is called life. That is the

beginning of morality. Once a man has experienced it and continues

to do so he/she is ethical. He carries morality within him/her and

can never lose it, for it continues to develop within him. He who

has never experienced this has only a set of superficial principles.

 

These theories have no root in him, they do not belong to him, and

they fall off him......Reverence for life comprises the whole ethic

of love in its deepest and highest sense. It is the source of

constant renewal for the individual and for mankind.(Respect for

life is compassion, which is a prerequisite for understanding.)
