Just me who spotted the contradiction in these two consecutive sentences? On one sentence you say you don't give a shit about suffering you may cause on other creatures and on the next sentence you say we should give a shit? Which is it?One thing about being human is we get to rule this Earth - for better or for worse.
Yes, and because we rule the world we should do it consciously and responsibly if we don't want to go down the road of self-destruction like we've been doing. But I'll probably think back to this essay next time I'm trying to wash the saltwater and fish smell out of my skin while licking my lips and watching lobster tails boil magnificently. Another thing about being human is we are capable of being reflective and empathetic.
