Never judge a philosophy by its abuse
#43
RE: Never judge a philosophy by its abuse
It really boils down to this. Judge a system/philosophy by what is claimed and believed instead of the abuses purported against others in the name of said philosophy/system. Those abuses are the actions of the individual alone and not the system.

Anyone can take a philosophy or system and choose to interpret it in such a way to cause harm against others. We've seen it in history and still today.
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
