If you see yourself as entitled to a resource, and if you're not willing or incapable of seeing this other as a being with whom you can and should be in relation with, then you're going to take the resource.

The stories we are told shape the way we see the world, which shapes the way we experience the world.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that any way of living that's based on the use of non-renewable resources won't last.

For us to maintain our way of living, we must tell lies to each other and especially to ourselves. The lies are necessary because, without them, many deplorable acts would become impossibilities.
