Quote

What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other?

George EliotMiddlemarch

Note

This quote frames compassion as an internal purpose rather than an external obligation. It leans toward an internal standard, inviting readers to find meaning from within—in the choice to ease others' burdens—rather than seeking validation or reward from outside.
