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.

写作是一种治疗方式；有时我会想，那些不写作、不画画或不作曲的人是怎么应付的。他们在哪里找到解脱？
