What good is a man's knowledge unless it prompts him to prevent the pain of others as if it were his own pain?

Any actions which a man knows would harm himself He should not inflict on others.

The supreme principle is this: Never knowingly harm anyone at any time in any way.

-Tirukkural 32: 315-317

(I think, though, that in order for doing any harm, one does have to be at least partly if not fully unaware, lacking sensitivity. Awareness, sensitivity, guides one to always act in loving, caring and constructive ways)
