opening our Blind Eye … 10/08/13
We turned a blind eye to slavery, until we woke Up to Justice …
We turned a blind eye to discrimination against women, until we woke UP to Equality …
We turned a blind eye to bigoted hatred of those from different cultures, following different faiths &/or having different sexual orientations, until we woke UP to mutual Respect.
Now, we are turning a blind eye to the millions of caring & conscious sentient beings that are imprisoned, abused and slaughtered every day merely to satisfy our lusts for pleasure & entertainment.
We claim to be an “advanced intelligence”, and yet we continue to behave as barbarians.
We claim to love animals, and yet we look away from their suffering with a cowardice that is shocking and an apathy that is sickening.
It is time to wake UP once again, my Friends … this time to Compassion.
