Of course, the book was about going blind and using a guide dog (which is not necessarily cruelty-free because they get the dogs from breeders, but the book is still good.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799660367320178164.post-74075354789014287902013-05-11T14:20:04.317-07:002013-05-11T14:20:04.317-07:00awesomeawesomeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799660367320178164.post-77648383957336922572013-04-22T12:11:43.436-07:002013-04-22T12:11:43.436-07:00Thank you for your beautiful words and heart, Rebe...Thank you for your beautiful words and heart, Rebecca...Marlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17051769657129028820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799660367320178164.post-91177737173346318982013-04-22T12:10:52.648-07:002013-04-22T12:10:52.648-07:00I agree with you, Bea.

We all have a more powerful weapon, one that is invisible, one that needs no license or background check, one that the government cannot grant to us nor take from us. That weapon is more powerful than a knife or a gun or a bomb. That weapon is kindness. If we all react with kindness, and spread kindness, and face evil with kindness, we can have more effect on humanity than any terrorist ever could. For certainly, if we do the opposite and meet force with a greater force, we are doomed.<br /><br />Thanks for confirming my thoughts today. I believe more than ever in a collective consciousness, especially among vegans!Rebecca Stuckinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799660367320178164.post-82338418785386307462013-04-20T18:39:39.796-07:002013-04-20T18:39:39.796-07:00I have no answer but I've seen it time and aga...I have no answer but I've seen it time and again that those who've had the most painful childhoods wind up being such champions for others.
