The role of the benevolent soul is for someone who does not dare to stand up for what is right. It is much easier to believe in our own goodness than to confront others and assert our rights. It is much easier to swallow an insult without saying a word than to fight with the stronger one. You can always say that the stone that was thrown at you did not hit you. Only at night - when our wife or husband is already asleep and no one can hear - only then do we dare to cry about our cowardice.

Hungarian

"A jótét lélek szerepe annak való, aki nem mer kiállni igazáért. Sokkal könnyebb ugyanis hinni a saját jóságunkban, mint szembeszállni a többiekkel és érvényesíteni jogainkat. Sokkal könnyebb szó nélkül lenyelni a sértést, mint harcba szállni az erősebbel. Mindig mondhatjuk, hogy nem talált el a kő, amellyel megdobtak. Csak éjszaka - amikor feleségünk vagy a férjünk már alszik, és senki nem hallhat -, csak ekkor merünk sírni a gyávaságunkon."
