suddenly realizing how terrible the meat and dairy industries are has had a profound effect on how i perceive the world
My goal is simple. All I want to do is re-connect people with animals. Awaken some emotions and some feelings and some logic, that has been buried and suppressed, intentionally, by our society. And the reason why I say re-connect is because each and every person in this room used to be a real animal rights person at one time, a true animal lover, and a real friend to the animal kingdom. And it was when we were kids.

i think a lot of the times i know
that you’re not good for me because
you mean more to me
than i will ever mean to you
yet i let myself get carried away in the moment
and bask in your company because
even the slightest second with you makes me smile
and they’re not worth giving up for the time without you
because when i’m not with you
i end up thinking of you anyway

People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of their character.

The untrained mind keeps up a running commentary, labelling everything, judging everything. Best to ignore that commentary. Don’t argue or resist, just ignore. Deprived of attention and interest, this voice gets quieter and quieter and eventually just shuts up.
