The human capacity for compassion is not a reflex that is triggered automatically by the presence of another living thing.

Compassion for all living things is the only thing you can freely give without any cost to yourself.

Personality and socialization aren't the same thing.

I imagine that yes is the only living thing.

In every living thing there is the desire for love.

We're living in primate heaven. We're warm, dry, we're not hungry, we don't have fleas and ticks and infections. So why are we so miserable?
