Our particularity is our universality. Only by being what we uniquely are, can we respect other people for what they uniquely are.

The camel, at the close of day,
Kneels down upon the sandy plain
To have his burden lifted off
And rest again.
My soul, thou too should to thy knees
When daylight draweth to a close,
And let thy Master lift the load
And grant repose.
