Travel past them because they don't understand who they have become and never will. These type of people feel justified in revenge and will never learn mercy or forgiveness because they live by comparison. They are the people that don't care about anyone, other than who is making them feel confident. They don’t understand that their deity is not rejoicing with them because of their actions, rather he is trying to free them from their insecurities, by softening their heart. They rather put out your light than find their own. They don't have the ability to see beyond the false sense of happiness they get from destroying others. You know what happiness is and it isn’t this. Don’t see their success as their deliverance. It is a mask of vindication which has no audience, other than their own kind. They have joined countless others that call themselves “survivors”. They believe that they are entitled to win because life didn’t go as planned for them. You are not like them. You were not meant to stay in hell and follow their belief system. You were bound for greatness. You were born to help them by leading. Rise up and be the light home. You were given the gift to see the truth. They will have an army of people that are like them and you are going to feel alone. However, your family in heaven stands beside you now. They are your strength and as countless as the stars. It is time to let go!Love, Your Guardian Angel.","author":"Shannon L.

When you have the inner conviction to do the most good and the least harm, you are free to say no to media, social, and peer pressures. You are free from a nagging sense that your life does not have value or meaning. You are free to imagine and then create a truly successful (in the deepest meaning on the word) life. You are free to be at peace with yourself and all those whom your life touches.","author":"Zoe Weil","tags":["compassion","education","freedom","good","harm","humane","media","mogo","pressures","social","vegan"],"id":29493,"author_id":"Zoe+Weil"},{"text":"A person’s words reflect the image of his character and the amount of truth and lies in it is always visible to the human heart than ordinary eyes.","author":"Testy McTesterson","tags":["be-human","character","conscience","deeds","extraordinary-individuals","eyes","eyesight","fake","fool","human","human-heart","humane","humanity","humility","icon","inspiration","inspirational","inspiring","inspiring-","inspiring","kindness","leader","leadership","lies","life","life-and-living","life-lessons","motivation","motivational","ordinary","real","sage","sane","simplicity","truth","words","words-of-wisdom"],"id":46490,"author_id":"Testy+McTesterson"},{"text":"We should not be surprised that more and more people feel comfortable about consuming animal products. After all, they are being assured by the “experts” that suffering is being decreased and they can buy “happy” meat, “free-range” eggs, etc.. These products even come with labels approved of by animal organizations. The animal welfare movement is actually encouraging the “compassionate” consumption of animal products.Animal welfare reforms do very little to increase the protection given to animal interests because of the economics involved: animals are property. They are things that have no intrinsic or moral value. This means that welfare standards, whether for animals used as foods, in experiments, or for any other purpose, will be low and linked to the level of welfare needed to exploit the animal in an economically efficient way for the particular purpose. Put simply, we generally protect animal interests only to the extent we get an economic benefit from doing so. The concept of “unnecessary” suffering is understood as that level of suffering that will frustrate the particular use. And that can be a great deal of suffering.Killing Animals and Making Animals Suffer | Animal Rights: The Abolitionist Approach.","author":"Gary L.

Men generally, under such a government as this, think that they ought to wait until they have persuaded the majority to alter them. They think that, if they should resist, the remedy would be worse than the evil. But it is the fault of the government itself that the remedy is worse than the evil. It makes it worse. Why is it not more apt to anticipate and provide for reform? Why does it not cherish its wise minority? Why does it cry and resist before it is hurt? Why does it not encourage its citizens to be on the alert to point out its faults, and do better than it would have them?","author":"Henry David Thoreau","tags":["america","government","humane","law","rights","society","unjust"],"id":72817,"author_id":"Henry+David+Thoreau"},{"text":"Life sometimes reminds us that it is sometimes heartless by giving something or someone we really need to someone who does not need or even want them or it.","author":"Mokokoma Mokhonoana","tags":["adage","adages","aphorism","aphorisms","appreciate","appreciation","axiom","axioms","bighearted","callous","caring","charitable","cold","cold-hearted","compassionate","considerate","cruel","death","deep","dictum","dictums","empathetic","epigram","epigrams","gnome","gnomes","hard-hearted","heartless","humane","humor","humour","inconsiderate","inhuman","insensitive","insightful","kind","lenient","life","life-partner","life-partners","love","lover","lovers","loving","made-me-think","make-you-think","maxim","maxims","mean-spirited","merciful","merciless","need","needs","pitiless","profound","proverb","proverbs","provoke-thought","quotation","quotations","quote","quotes","remind","reminder","satire","satirical","saying","sayings","sensitive","solicitous","stony-hearted","sympathetic","take-for-granted","thought-provoking","thoughtful","tolerant","uncaring","unconcerned","understanding","unfeeling","unkind","unsympathetic","want","wants","warm","waste"],"id":82793,"author_id":"Mokokoma+Mokhonoana"},{"text":"Wealth earned may disappear, beauty will fade, honor may recede and fame diminish; all that shall remain, is a soul that is humane within that would leave a trail in the thoughts of your loved ones;And even if that fails,your God in heaven above will never fail you or fail to rejoice in a life you've managed to live worthy of His praise.","author":"Henrietta Newton Martin","tags":["beauty","fame","god","heaven","honor","humane","love-mercy","loved-ones","praise","prayer","wealth"],"id":83802,"author_id":"Henrietta+Newton+Martin"},{"text":"All it takes for generosity to flow is awareness.
