“If I knew I was going to die tomorrow,
And Spring came the day after tomorrow,
I would die peacefully, because it came the day after tomorrow.
If that鈥檚 its time, when else should it come?
I like it that everything is real and everything is right;
And I like that it would be like this even if I didn鈥檛 like it.
And so, if I die now, I die peacefully
Because everything is real and everything is right.”
― The Collected Poems of Alberto Caeiro

“This is God's universe and he is the master gardener of all. If we were to eliminate all colors in his garden,then what would be a rainbow with only one color?

“We were all born to be peaceful citizens of the world. Take care of your global garden and do not allow evil gardeners to try and convince you which flowers are ugly and which should be destroyed. This is God's universe and he is the master gardener of all. If you see ugliness in his creations, then you see ugliness in our Creator. Wake up. If we eliminate all colors in his garden, then what would be a rainbow with only one color? And what would be a garden with only one kind of flower? Why would the Creator create a vast assortment of plants, ethnicities, and animals, if only one beast or seed is to dominate all of existence?”

“We should not be surprised that more and more people feel comfortable about consuming animal products. After all, they are being assured by the 鈥渆xperts鈥� that suffering is being decreased and they can buy 鈥渉appy鈥� meat, 鈥渇ree-range鈥� eggs, etc.. These products even come with labels approved of by animal organizations. The animal welfare movement is actually encouraging the 鈥渃ompassionate鈥� consumption of animal products.
Animal welfare reforms do very little to increase the protection given to animal interests because of the economics involved: animals are property. They are things that have no intrinsic or moral value. This means that welfare standards, whether for animals used as foods, in experiments, or for any other purpose, will be low and linked to the level of welfare needed to exploit the animal in an economically efficient way for the particular purpose. Put simply, we generally protect animal interests only to the extent we get an economic benefit from doing so. The concept of 鈥渦nnecessary鈥� suffering is understood as that level of suffering that will frustrate the particular use. And that can be a great deal of suffering.

“Peace is one thing we all want and the thing we all need. But the problem is that we spend lots of time waiting for the war to stop instead of taking steps to end it.”

“I feel nothing," I wrote as my counter-thought, but there is no evidence that apathy is a dangerous state of mind. People go to yoga and spend thousands of dollars on meditation classes to learn how to let go and feel nothing. But I get to do it every day, For Free.”
