范文：
The human being differs from the wild beast in that the latter is liable to have a hostileview of others and interact in an unreasonable and aggressive manner. Primitive humansmight have acted in such fashion, but civilized humans should cultivate more appropriatebehaviors.
In the drawing above, a man carrying a large load accidentally steps on a woman’s foot.Given that he gracefully apologizes, the woman both accepts his apology and assures him notto worry.
The man and woman depicted interact with each other in a courteous and compassionatemanner. The woman understands the man did not intentionally step on her foot, andtherefore whether or not she is in pain, she does not attack or blame him. Because she is ableto view the situation from his perspective, conflict is diverted. Mutual understanding such asthis is a fundamental aspect of civilized society.
Some people tend to think the worst of others and become angry over even the smallest ofmatters, regardless of how their own actions are disturbing in turn. Such intolerance onlyleads to more conflict. Disrespecting or mistreating people not only inflicts pain upon others,but can also harm one’s own conscience and attitude.
Having compassion for others is an important facet of social intercourse. Once one strivesto understand the experience and perspective of another, one can avoid much trouble andconflict, thus making life more peaceful and just for all.
