P67
The feeling that is common to all beings, and I include plants here, is the will to keep living. Cut a tree, and it will probably sprout again. Wound an animal, and it will probably crawl away from you, trying to stay alive. As a rational and emotional being, I affirm that nothing justifies taking the life of another being. But we are not only emotional beings. We are, first and foremost, natural beings. As natural beings we are, indeed, omnivores, murderers and selfish. We are human.
