“Everyone in life has an issue in their life that’s not quite right. Something’s a little out of balance, and issue that we think of often, but afraid to confront this, in fear of the confrontation it might cause, or the drama it could create. Go after this, and clear your mind. The confrontation won’t last forever. The possible drama will fade. It’s better than wearing this every single day of your life. We have one life. A few days of conflict is better than a lifetime of emotional anguish.”

“Humans are conscious because they have knowledge – via reason, logic, language and conceptualization – while animals are not because they lack reason, logic, language and conceptualization. Here we have an astounding difference. For rationalists, animals cannot be conscious. They can be sentient (have feelings, sensations and experiences), but without consciousness. For empiricists, animals can and indeed must be conscious because they have feelings, sensations and experiences. Rationalists distinguish between sentience and consciousness. Empiricists say they are the same thing. The differences between rationalists and empiricists appear everywhere, and basically create two competing worldviews, but which are often force-fitted together.”
