is compassion, love necessary for humanism? is a healthy mind, a healthy spirit, necessary to a healthy body, a social status?
i'm an atheist. i believe and trust in the law of reciprocity and that love is a necessary, healthy, and curative thing
We’ll encounter trouble with the subjectivity of “healthy,” but yes. We can make it objective by asserting that by “healthy” we mean altruism, empathy, and practices that promote a reasonable ensemble of life, happiness, and the caretaking of the world and society for those that come after us.
