“Perhaps the most literal example of the immense survivability of life is expressed when looking back at every ancestor of yours; your parents, their parents, their parents before them, through the staggeringly long eons to the first chemical strings that could be considered life. There is an unbroken chain of survival from that point, to you, where every being battled other creatures and its environment, and survived at least long enough to bring its offspring live into the world, themselves with the tools to survive…

You are the result of billions of years’ warfare, a competition that now need not involve bloodshed & destruction, but can be won at each birth through intelligence, compassion and the ability to simply care for one another. We’ve all fought the long fight, let’s be kind.”
