Be selfish and loving.

Odpovědnost roste s mocí — ne klesá.
The Czech Jewish German-language writer from Prague, Max Brod, recalled in his book Streitbares Leben how he was taken aback by the outbreak of the First World War:
“Throughout forty-four whole years, since the Franco-German War of 1870, there had been no war at the heart of the world. For us, war was a word that sounded almost medieval; it carried a flavor of absurdity, of chivalric clashing of weapons. For the present, it floated in the air like an unreal, glittering sphere, a soap bubble. War was thought of as something historically settled, finished, something fantastical—something earlier generations of humankind (poor souls!) believed in—but not us, rational realists.” — Erik Tabery, Opuštěná společnost: Česká cesta od Masaryka po Babiše (corrected)
Looking back, it is astonishing how intimately, intelligently snobbish we all were, how knowledgeable about names and addresses, how swift to detect small differences in accents and manners and the cut of clothes. There were some boys who seemed to drip money from their pores even in the bleak misery of the middle of a winter term. At the beginning and end of the term, especially, there was naiively snobbish chatter about Switzerland, and Scotland with its ghillies and grouse moors, and ‘my uncle's yacht’, and ‘our place in the country’. — George Orwell on the time before 1914, Books v. Cigarettes

“It is in the very nature of things human that every act that has once made its appearance and has been recorded in the history of mankind stays with mankind as a potentiality long after its actuality has become a thing of the past. No punishment has ever possessed enough power of deterrence to prevent the commission of crimes. On the contrary, whatever the punishment, once a specific crime has appeared for the first time, its reappearance is more likely than its initial emergence could ever have been.” — Hannah Arendt, Eichmann and the Holocaust
"Everyone is capable of evil" is a true statement that is nevertheless grossly misunderstood. The fact that everyone is capable of evil is neither a ground for moral defeatism nor an excuse for moral relativism. It should be an awakening call to action that everyone therefore shares in on the ever-continuous responsibility to keep evil in check as long as the humanity stands.
