Original text
V While ample strength abides in good men's hearts an egotist in power can raise hell. Our being, (set forth by Rene' Descartes) is not enough, unless that self does well to overpower fulminating hate. So join me, partner, let us all arise, and show by actions, we'll not take the bait to shed the human love that he'd abscise.

Ask one whose dress, or style, or even race sets him apart from what defines your norm, to join you, (when in a convenient place) then feel your prejudice and fears deform.

A compliment, or kindness, is the start; It comes from human consciousness, in part.
