The mentality of mankind and the language of mankind created each other.

Alfred North Whitehead

We cannot assume the injustice of any actions which only create offense, and especially as regards religion and morals.

You're making the grant of affection, forbearance, mercy, out of your own experience and, of course, out of cultural tradition. You're saying, to use the well-worn analogy, if I love my children, that puts me under obligation to assume that other people love theirs.
Wendell Berry
