It
just seems clear to me that as long as we are all here, it's pretty clear that
the struggle is to share the planet, rather than divide it.
I
think we have to own the fears that we have of each other, and then, in some practical
way, some daily way, figure out how to see people differently than the way we
were brought up to.
"It's
so clear that you have to cherish everyone. I think that's what I get from these
older black women, that every soul is to be cherished, that every flower is to
bloom."
No
person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.
The
animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans
any more than black people were made for white, or women created for men.
"I
know, in my soul, that to eat a creature who is raised to be eaten, and who never
has a chance to be a real being, is unhealthy. It's like...you're just eating
misery. You're eating a bitter life."
