We awake into this Life uncertain.
Much of this Universe is devoid of morality or passion.
The rocks do not feel love and the air does not knowingly caress.
Life is special.
Since we have freedom, or at least the illusion of freedom, we must do as little harm as possible to all that we might harm. This mantra comes from the one thing I hold most dear:
A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.
~ Kurt Vonnegut
