“He who knows how to wait for what he desires does not feel very desperate if he fails in obtaining it; and he, on the contrary, who is very impatient in procuring a certain thing, takes so much pains about it, that, even when he is successful, he does not think himself sufficiently rewarded.” IfsThinkingKnowsFeelsDoePainDesireCertainWaitingKnow HowSuccessfulFailingContraryDesperateImpatientObtaining Author:Jean de la Bruyere
“The word 'innocence' means 'incapable of being hurt'. To have a mind that is not capable of being hurt, does not mean that it has built up a lot of resistance - on the contrary, such a mind is dying to everything that it has known in which there has been conflict, pleasure and pain. Only then is the mind innocent; that means it can love. You cannot love with memory, love is not a matter of remembrance, of time.” MindMeanDoeHas BeensMatterPainHurtMemoriesLove IsPleasureKnownDyingLove YouConflictCapableBuiltContraryResistanceInnocentInnocenceIncapableRemembrancePain And PleasureBeing Hurt Author:Jiddu Krishnamurti
“A powerful portfolio of physiological and behavioural evidence now exists to support the case that fish feel pain and that this feeling matters. In the face of such evidence, any argument to the contrary based on the claim that fish 'do not have the right sort of brain' can no longer be called scientific. It is just obstinate.” FeelsMatterFeelingsPainFacesPowerfulBrainCasesSupportEvidenceArgumentClaimsFishesContraryPortfoliosObstinatePhysiological Book:Animal Welfare: Limping Towards Eden Source: Animal Welfare: Limping Towards Eden
