我們所有人都必須尊重一些前提. 動物不懼怕死亡, 這不是因為無知的幸福, 而是因為對自然的力量及其不斷循環的欣賞: 行星繞著太陽旋轉, 月亮繞著地球旋轉, 四季變化, 日夜轉移.一日復一日水變成了蒸氣, 然後又像雨一樣不斷地返回. 他們仍然與自然法則聯繫在一起, 不懼怕. 他們只是接受他們無法改變的東西. There are some
premises which all of us must respect. Animals do not fear death and
that is not because of ignorant bliss, but rather an appreciation of the
power of nature and her continuous cycles: the planets revolving around
the sun, the moon revolving around the earth, the change of the
seasons, night turning to day, water to vapor then back again as rain,
and on and on and on. They are still connected to the laws of nature and
know no fear; they just accept what they cannot change.
