We sometimes prequalify our statements as "honestly speaking". What about this virtue rest of the time?
Russell , I remember, has described "Love thy neighbour as thyself" as possessing generalised emotion towards everybody including towards oneself. It remains an abstract thinking.
For me mind"s travel commences from self pity to pity. Or from selfishness to selflessness in varying degrees.
Certainly there is great deal of difference in the degree of urgency one shows. For instance between my rushing forward to feed my hungry children to starving kids of my relatives or friends or millions who suffer for lack of food in distant land.
I am dishonestly speaking if i say that I do this:
"SELL ALL THAT THOU HAST AND GIVE TO THE POOR"
