"Who is more important, you or others? The conclusion is clear; even if minor suffering happens to all others, its range is infinite, whereas when something happens to me, it is limited to just one person. When we look at others in this way, oneself is not so important." ~ the Dalai Lama

An infinite range of suffering... what an interesting way to look at the world of others. Quite true; we aren't so important in such a world.
