The better that you know others, the better you will know yourself, and that in the fullest of sharing experiences, we can learn the wisdom and witness the beauty of this world. More important still, from the sharing of experiences, we learn that every life, no matter what species, is unique and precious, that no one is expendable, and with this discovery, we acquire the humility that we must have to live our lives well, with knowledge, with understanding, and gratitude for the gift of every breathe.
