Good men and women speak a common language; the humanist language. And as they are always immersed in the essential, they assume the borders that the world has as simple administrative lines, as a trace of a map to which they do not pay attention because the suffering or happiness of the human being is for them a unique matter in any corner of the planet; because they are with the human species, not against it.
