"The writer's duty is to tell the truth, even when it is uncomfortable."

The total amount of suffering per year in the natural world is beyond all decent contemplation. During the minute that it takes me to compose this sentence, thousands of animals are being eaten alive, many others are running for their lives, whimpering with fear, others are slowly being devoured from within by rasping parasites, thousands of all kinds are dying of starvation, thirst, and disease.

最根本的问题不是什么最好，而是谁来决定什么是最好。
