Charity (Whitehead) n. 150

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

150. Genuine truth, the affection of which is charity, regards nothing else than life with the neighbor; therefore the affection of truth from good is nothing else. The good from which the affection springs, is the will to do, and the will to know in order that one may do. Otherwise it is not the genuine good from which is truth.
