What have I done really? By the way people have treated me one would rightfully assume that I had stolen from the elderly, conned their best friend or was found in possession of child pornography.

 

But do you want to know my crime? Trying to protect non-humans from being used, tortured and killed by the hands of a species that calls themselves superior. Who on the surface value kindness, compassion, solidarity and love, but who are quick to forget those values when their own selfish interests are at stake.

 

The difference between me and the average person is that I am constantly questioning my morals and my actions and making sure they are in line with each other. I am willing to change my daily actions in order to change the world.

 

And I get in trouble when I try to nudge people into questioning their morals and their violent actions, and sadly it seems that some of these people just can’t face their own tyrannical selves. They don’t want to do what they believe is right, they just don’t want to feel bad about doing what they do.

 

Does this mean I hate fellow humans? No, not at all. We are capable of wonderful things, every single one of us! Do I think humans, as wonderful as we are, should discriminate non-humans because they are different from us? No, not at all either. They are capable of wonderful things, every single one of them!

And I am not one bit ashamed of protecting the interests of individuals who, like children, have no voice of their own to free themselves from this tyranny. And I am not one bit ashamed of doing what I wish someone would do for me were I in that position.

 

Happy new year! I wish you all the very same you’ll wish others.
