Thought of the week

The twin sister of altruism, fraternity reflects a desire for greater mutuality and reciprocity; it strengthens social cohesion by fostering solidarity and cooperation. [...] It also shows us that in an interdependent world, everyone needs the success of others. On the other hand, when everyone is only concerned with their own fate, almost everyone ends up losing.
