“We tend to think animals are lower than us, but all the scientists in the world couldn’t design and operate a bumblebee’s wing. We can’t jump or run very fast, and we can’t carry vast weights like an ant can. We can’t see in the dark and we can’t fly except crammed in a noisy tube like sardines, which doesn’t count. Humans compared to animals are almost totally deaf, and we can’t smell a fart in an elevator by their standards. We are finite and separate, and neurotic, while the consciousness of an animal is at peace and eternal. We strive and go crazy to become more important. Animals rest and sleep and enjoy the company of each other. We think we have evolved upwards from animals but we have lost almost all of their qualities and abilities. The idea that animals don’t have consciousness or that they don’t have a soul is rather crass. It shows a lack of consciousness. They talk, they have families, they feel things, they act individually or together to solve problems, they often care of their young as a tribal unit. They play, they travel, and medicate themselves when they get sick. They cry when others in the herd die, they know about us humans. Of course they have a soul, a very pristine one. We humans are only now attempting with the recent rise in consciousness to achieve the soul that animals have naturally.”

OHMYGOD THIS LITERALLY SUMS UP EVERYTHING I DISCUSSED WITH MEGAN LAST NIGHT AND IT’S BEEN ON MY MIND ALL DAY AND THIS JUST ILLUSTRATES MY THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS IN THE MOST PERFECT WAY.

I went to the gym for the first after work today and all I can really say about the experience is oh my fuck. Megan really put me to work. We focused on legs today, since I’d really like to have a nice butt, and on our core muscles. I feel like jelly all over but also very awake and a little bit happier than usual. I know that has to do with endorphins and what not but it’s a really great feeling and I’m really excited to go tomorrow, although I can already tell I’m gonna be sore as hell in a couple hours. I was super self conscious at first but once I eased into the routine it was okay, the only weird part was when we went into the sauna, which is unisex!!, some dude tried to hit on me by making me listen to backstreet boys with him haha it was very uncomfortable and we left shortly after that. Overall I’m stoked because this is exactly the kind of positive change I want in my life :))

““I didn’t learn until I was in college about all the other cultures, and I should have learned that in the first grade. A first grader should understand that his or her culture isn’t a rational invention; that there are thousands of other cultures and they all work pretty well; that all cultures function on faith rather than truth; that there are lots of alternatives to our own society. Cultural relativism is defensible and attractive. It’s also a source of hope. It means we don’t have to continue this way if we don’t like it.””
