One Good Thing: "It is your responsibility, as a man, to protect those who can not protect themselves. If you fail at this, you have failed as a human being. It is your duty, even when refusing to protect, or even causing the harm yourself, has no visible consequences for you ... [T]he police won't arrest you if you hurt ... kittens. But the job of human beings is to safeguard those who are smaller and do not have the rights and privileges that you yourself have. If you do harm to ... kittens, you are a failure." [via mefi]
