The highest value in life and love
is accepting responsibility for
everything that touches mind
and heart
Never ignoring the consequences
of every choice we make, every
action we take, never claiming
the effect
We have on others is outside our
jurisdiction, knowing the pain we
cause others reverberate in our
own hearts
All we do and say touches our own
emotions as much as those of our
victims, every time we cause hurt
and injury
Our own hearts bleed...

This is nicely put!
It is an ideal I have not attained yet, and it does entail the existential angst that plagued Sartre.
