Protect life
A spiritual discourse on compassion and the shared experience of suffering between humans and animals.
"Imagine you have just given birth to a child, and immediately, someone takes it away. How would you feel?"
"A mother is a mother; it does not matter if she is a human mother or an animal mother. Children are children; it does not matter if they are humans or animals."
The speaker delivers a powerful monologue, using visceral imagery to draw parallels between human and animal suffering. By asking the listener to imagine scenarios of profound loss, fear, and violent death, the discourse argues that the capacity for such feeling is universal. The central theme is that a lack of recognition of this shared sentience is the root cause of violence and suffering in the human world.
