A human being is part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from the prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty… The true value of a human being is determined primarily by the measure and the sense in which they have obtained liberation from the self. … We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if humanity is to survive.
Albert Einstein, 1954
creo que de esta cita tan genial se desprende que el ser humano ha de buscar la felicidad ajena y evitar el dolor en los seres (all living criatures) que le rodean. Para que sobrevivamos hemos de respetar a todas las especies, y como parte de ese respeto creo que deberÃamos hacer lo posible por evitar el dolor animal. ¿es mas importante el dolor humano? seguramente, pero el animal no ha de dejarse de olvidarse.
