I'm getting in on the tail end of this conversation and all I have to say is WHAT point in history did we move away from all that sustains us and started making ourselves (humans) separate from everything to where we now think that we can call the shots on what is smarter, better, more rights, less rights, because we are human, because they are animals, vegetables, white, black, etc.? For crying out loud. What inside all of you died to where you don't give a rat's arse about anything else that isn't human? How does that serve you? It is about respect. This planet WAS NOT created for just humans though if humans all died it would benefit, which is sad. What inside of you is so numb and hurt or broken that abusing that which isn't important to you heals you inside? No matter how much I disagree with someone I would never call them names or make fun of that which is important to them because it shows where a person's heart really is. |
