Why do we think we're so different?
I was talking to my partner this morning and he told me about a story of a turtle who had adopted a baby hippo who had lost its mother.
I really strikes me sometimes that we as humans believe that we are the only creatures capable of making compassionate, sentient choices in our lives. This turtle obviously made the choice to help and care for another creature, one that it had no responsibility towards. It is always so important to keep in mind that all creatures have the capacity for intelligence and love, and to treat all beings with the respect they deserve.
