The goal is to cultivate in our hearts the concern

The goal is to cultivate in our hearts the concern a dedicated mother feels for her child, and then focus it on more and more people and living beings. This is a heartfelt, powerful love. Many of you are mothers and know this feeling intimately. Such feelings give us a true understanding of human rights that is not grounded just in legal terms, but rooted deeply in the heart. Once we taste this love, extend it to others, all others.
