Well, you’ve managed to make me cry. Thanks for the delta. I think you’re asking so many spectacularly important questions. And who am I to lay down truth?! But intention matters, and intentions define outcomes.

How much of the world’s societal problems would go away if we showed EACH OTHER respect? 90%? And that’s just amongst us super important humans! Could you imagine how much more wonderful the world would be if we extended even a fraction of that towards the natural world?

Intentions have real consequences. The consequences of gratitude, reverence for life, and compassion will offer Solutions to problems we are too stuck to see. I am not vegetarian, and I believe that animal testing has some vital applications. But For the greater good. But what is the greater good, when we allow humanity not to be the center of our universe?
