"The injuries we do and those we suffer are seldom weighed in the same scales"
- Aesop
About this Quote
This quote by Aesop is a reminder that we often do not consider the consequences of our actions. We might do something that causes damage to someone else, but we don't always consider the effects of our actions. On the other hand, when we suffer, we tend to concentrate on our own discomfort and suffering, without thinking about the effect it has on others. This quote is a pointer that we should take into account the consequences of our actions and the effect it has on others. We must aim to be conscious of our actions and the prospective effects they may have. We need to also bear in mind how our own suffering affects others. We must aim to be more knowledgeable about the impact our actions have on others and strive to be more considerate of their sensations. This quote is a suggestion that we should aim to be more mindful of our actions and the repercussions they may have.
