A new perspective

Do you know the meaning of the word Earthlings? 
It is used to refer to any kind of species that were born on earth, the only house that we all have in common.
What I'm bringing here is not something pleasant, I came with a purpose to, perhaps, help you reflect about something that the world for a long while has considered right. 
We are so used to creating a distinction between us and the other animals. Human being things x animal things. Putting more than 8 million species in a single word: Animals. And consequently, forgetting that the human being is inside this classification and we also do basic animal things, such as: eating, sleeping, having relationships.
And this perspective, which we are now considering speciesm, is the reason why several kinds of life are being tortured exactly by the moment you are reading my words.
Do you know why this perspective should be considered lethal for our own existence?
Because the planet, nature and all natural sources are being destructed in order to serve the habit of eating meat. To exemplify, this habit destructs Amazon in 90%. It also promotes water crisis, pollution, deforestation, waste of resources and so many bad things linked directly. to the greenhouse effect.
I'm here to say: we are not more important than the species we kill just to serve us.
We have to learn how to look inside the eyes of an animal and see our home in there, recognizing that in those eyes are located the reason why we all exist.

  1. I respect your cause, it's a beatiful think. I also don't like the violence with the animals, because they are alive creatures just as we are.
