To my mind the life of a lamb is no less precious than that of a human being.
I should be unwilling to take the life of a lamb for the sake of the human body.
I hold that, the more helpless a creature, the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of man
- Mahatma Gandhi

I saw deep in the eyes of the animals the human soul look out upon me. I saw where it was born deep down under feathers or fur, or condemned for a while to roam four footed among the brambles. I caught the clinging mute glance of the prisoner and swore that I would be faithful
- Henry David Thoreau

Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened

I love this thread. It's exactly what I needed to see.
Adversity is a fact of life. It can’t be controlled. What we can control is how we react to it. – Unknown

Like Hope33, I am so pleased to find this thread and to begin to see that this forum really is a safe and nurturing place.
I will post a poem that means a great deal to me, both in the way it faces the reality of the world and, above all, in its joyful hopefulness. I'm not a Christian, but this poem speaks to me deeply.
THE WORLD is charged with the grandeur of God.
It will flame out, like shining from shook foil;
It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil
Crushed. Why do men then now not reck his rod?
Generations have trod, have trod, have trod;
And all is seared with trade; bleared, smeared with toil;
And wears man’s smudge and shares man’s smell: the soil's bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod.
And for all this, nature is never spent;
There lives the dearest freshness deep down things;
And though the last lights off the black West went
Oh, morning, at the brown brink eastward, springs
—Because the Holy Ghost over the bent
World broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings.
~ Gerard Manley Hopkins

Go into the world and do well. But more importantly, go onto the world and do good

“Love is always bestowed as a gift - freely, willingly and without expectation. We don't love to be loved; we love to love.”
