Dear children, I would love to talk to you about this beautiful world of ours, about flowers, trees, birds, animals, stars, mountains, glaciers and all the other beautiful things that surround us in the world. We have all this beauty all around us and yet we, who are grown-ups, often forget about it... We sit in our offices and imagine that we are doing very important work. I hope you will be more sensible and open your eyes and ears to this beauty and life that surrounds you. Can you recognize the flowers by their names and the birds by their singing? How easy it is to make friends with them and with everything in nature, if you go to them affectionately and with friendship. ~Jawaharlal Nehru (1889-1964)
All it takes is for one to walk away and the rest to follow.
Ethical? Moral? Are you? I've been thinking about this a lot lately. People just don't stop and think about their actions....ever. Everyone else is doing it so it must be okay, right? Peer pressure for grown-ups. Or money is involved. Money always trumps ethics in our country.
Please consider the environment and the future of humanity, if not the suffering of animals. Or if you are part of the me-me-me generation, at least try to consider the future of your own children and your own grandchildren. It isn't looking good for them. Try living a life of compassion.
