Emotional Intelligence 🪷

All that we are is the result

of what we have thought.

Buddha

Better keep yourself clean and bright:

you are the window through which

you must see the world.

are someone else's opinions, their lives

a mimicry, their passions a quotation.

and the mind benefits from stillness.

Instinct guides the animal better than the man.

In the animal it is pure, in man it is led astray

by his reason and intelligence.

🐶 Why Love One But Kill and Eat the Other? 🐷

We send one species to the butcher and

give our love and kindness to another

apparently for no reason other than

because it's the way things are.

Compassion towards animals is so natural to us,

that only through conditioning could we become

callous towards their suffering and death.

The soul is the same in all living creatures,

although the body of each is different.

response but a firm commitment

founded on reason.

I wouldn't hurt a cat or a dog - or a chicken

the same living spirit that moves the Universe.

Albert Einstein

In every living being there is the desire for love.

Jo Frederiks

If you choose to eat animals…

 you love pets, not animals.

A man who lies to himself, and believes his own

lies becomes unable to recognize truth,

either in himself or in anyone else,

and he ends up losing respect

for himself and for others.

When he has no respect for anyone, he can

no longer love, and in order to divert himself,

having no love in him, he yields to impulses,

indulges in the lowest forms of pleasure.

And it all comes from lying -

lying to others and to yourself.

Fyodor Dostoevsky

Now I can look at you in peace;

I don't eat you anymore.

Franz Kafka

My heart broke when I pictured my little dog

experiencing even a second of the pain and

fear that factory-farmed animals feel

their entire lives.

Nikki Glaser

the root of all that is wrong in the world.

Paul Farmer

Why should the law refuse its protection to any

sentient being? The time will come when

humanity will extend its mantle over

everyone who breathes.

Although I can't stop all cruelty to living

creatures on the planet, I can be kinder

to every living creature in my life.

River Phoenix

Selective compassion is a deformity of the mind.

Mohanji

Love is life. All,

everything that I understand,

I understand only because I love.

Leo Tolstoy

The animal liberation movement is fighting

what is arguably the most entrenched

and widespread form of exploitation

in human history: speciesism.

Melanie Joy

Speciesism is a failure to empathize

with those outside one's group.

Joan Dunayer

Human beings see oppression vividly

when they are the victims. Otherwise

they victimize blindly and without a thought.

Isaac Bashevis Singer

As custodians of the planet it is our responsibility

to deal with all species with kindness, love and

compassion. What these animals suffer through

human cruelty is beyond understanding.

Please help to stop this madness.

Richard Gere
