A Soulful Journey

“It makes no difference if the cat is black or white. So long as it catches rats it’s a good cat.” - Deng Xiopeng What can we learn from this? To be who we are; to be true to ourselves.

"Mankind is on too low a spiritual level to understand or be concerned with animal rights." - -Avraham Isaac Kook

A man sees seven worlds [in his lifetime].   A one-year old is like a king carried in a litter, with everyone hugging and kissing him. A two or three year old is like  a pig, grabbing for everything. A ten-year old prances like a young goat. A twenty- year old neighs like a horse, dresses up and seeks a mate. Once wed, he becomes like a donkey. When he has children he scrabbles shamelessly for bread like a dog. When old he becomes a monkey.  -Kohelet Rabbah 1:3 Let it be said of us that we were a mensch and not giving into our worst instincts.
