Our human compassion binds us the one to the other - not in pity or patronizingly, but as human beings who have learnt how to turn our common suffering into hope for the future.

This quote is suggesting that our capacity for compassion is one of our most powerful abilities, allowing us to form strong connections with others despite our differences. It’s not about feeling sorry for someone, it’s about recognizing, understanding, and empathizing with the struggles of others and coming together to help one another. We have the power to use our common struggles as motivation for something better and more hopeful for the future.
