Though the works of the human race disappear tracelessly by time or bomb, the sun does not falter in its course; the stars keep their invariable vigil. Cosmic law cannot be stayed or changed, and man would do well to put himself in harmony with it. If the cosmos is against might, if the sun wars not in the heavens but retires at dueful time to give the stars their little sway, what avails our mailed fist? Shall any peace come out of it? Not cruelty but goodwill upholds the universal sinews; a humanity at peace will know the endless fruits of victory, sweeter to the taste than any nurtured on the soil of blood.
That was written by Paramahansa Yogananda in the 1940s, and as I sat there in the park today reading his words I couldn't help but relate them to Animal Rights. I'm ashamed to be human.

Or is it all just...
um...
OLIVIA.
I knew there was a point to it all.
