to be what we are

(Julia's piglets asleep at Farm Sanctuary)

To be what we are, and to become what we are capable of becoming, is the only end of life. --ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON

I believe that. And because billions of other sentient beings are denied that basic right, their birthright if you will, it should behoove us humans to become the best we can be.

If you enjoyed this post, please share. And until next time, Keep Calm and Vegan On.

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. --ARTHUR SCHOPENHAUER (1788-1860)

I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do. --EDWARD HALE
