Summary
"We were not born for the purpose of causing trouble and harming others. For our life to be of value, as Piero Ferrucci amply demonstrates here-and I am grateful to him for expressing it so clearly-we need to foster and nurture such basic good human qualities as warmth, kindness, and compassion. If we can do that, our lives will become more meaningful, happier, and more peaceful; we will make a positive contribution to the world around us."
