Quote by Paulo Coelho

[A] disciple...can never imitate his guide's steps. You have your own way of living your life, of dealing with problems, and of winning. Teaching is only demonstrating that it is possible. Learning is making it possible for yourself.

Summary

This quote suggests that being a disciple or follower does not mean simply imitating one's guide or mentor. Each individual has their unique approach to navigating life and overcoming challenges. The role of a guide is to demonstrate what is achievable, while learning involves adapting and applying these teachings in a way that aligns with one's own circumstances and personality. Ultimately, the quote emphasizes the importance of personal growth and finding one's own path to success rather than merely emulating others.

Perhaps in the back of our minds we already understand, without all the science I've discussed, that something terribly wrong is happening. Our sustenance now comes from misery. We know that if someone offers to show us a film on how our meat is produced, it will be a horror film. We perhaps know more than we care to admit, keeping it down in the dark places of our memory-- disavowed. When we eat factory-farmed meat we live, literally, on tortured flesh. Increasingly, that tortured flesh is becoming our own.
