People tend to care about dogs because they generally have more experience with dogs as companions; but other animals are as capable of suffering as dogs are. few people feel sympathy for rats. yet rats are intelligent animals, and there can be no doubt that rats are capable of suffering and do suffer from countless painful experiments performed on them. if the army were to stop experiments on dogs and switch to rats instead, we should not be any less concerned.

Wit is artificial; humor is natural. wit is accidental; humor is inevitable. wit is born of conscious effort; humor, of the allotted ironies of fate. wit can be expressed only in language; humor can be developed sufficiently in situation.

You and i may only be mortals, with all the foolishness and fallibility that that state implies, but we're mortals made in the image of heaven. the gods can't do their work without us. so let's be bold, in their cause and in our own. it's our job, we humans, to make manifest that which is unmanifest-and to raise into consciousness, in this material dimension, that which had been known before only in heaven.

Do you want a sign that you're asleep? here it is: you're suffering. suffering is a sign that you're out of touch with the truth. suffering is given to you that you might open your eyes to the truth, that you might understand that there's falsehood somewhere, just as physical pain is given to you so you will understand that there is disease or illness somewhere. suffering occurs when you clash with reality. when your illusions clash with reality, when your falsehoods clash with truth, then you have suffering. otherwise there is no suffering.
