solidarity

Wanting to give everyone a sense of equality is not leveling him down, but exalting his solidarity. Lack of solidarity is always born from presuming to be different, from a But: “Paul is suffering, it’s true. I am suffering, too, but my suffering has something that…my nature has something that…” and so on. The But must disappear, and we must be able to say: “That man is bearing what I myself should bear in the same circumstances.”
