I read this book when I was a teenager.
I think it was the short paragraph about the two types of Pity that has remained with me through out the times when I I was confused between empathy and pity .
Beware of pity is a book that lives with you through out your life .
Not the story but the first and last page
The last page compliments the first quote .
At my age (82) I think this generation
may not have the time to read Stefan Zweig’s Beware of Pity
But I wish lovers of literature would read
The first quote .
It gives a very meaningful perspective on life and living
Indira Gandhi used this quote in one of her books .
Please read if you can
Read if you must
