"The first step in the evolution of ethics is a sense of solidarity with other human beings" - Albert Schweitzer
Project 365: #253
At the weekend, Caitlin went to visit her friend from Germany who now lives in Princeton. On the way, they drove under this overpass, signifying the solidarity with France over the recent terror the country faced. The sense of pride in the country and solidarity for what is right against what is wrong is fundamental for the evolution of ethics and values. The visit was also one of solidarity, as the two girls share a common history, and are facing similar challenges. By standing together they do not feel alone, and can reassess the way forward with new confidence based on their communal values.
