Animal Writings

I liked this relatively new blog right from the start because—my impression—it offers unique points of view and forces you to think. I like that the posts ask "what does it all mean?," "why do we do what we do?" and "what should we do?" I like that the blog takes risks, exposes itself; to espouse challenging, even disquieting ideas is to invite rebuttal and criticism.

There is some beautiful stuff here. The author delves into philosophy, psychology, and ethics, but—if I can say this—with heart. Not just to pontificate, but with purpose, to bring peace to those who, because of our cruelty and indifference, have no peace. (And in bringing peace to others, of course we give it to ourselves.)
