Summary

This quote highlights the inconsistent and often illogical nature of our attitudes towards animals. It implies that while we shower our personal pets with love and care, we simultaneously ignore or justify the immense suffering endured by animals within the factory farming industry. The quote suggests that our behavior is hypocritical because we treat different animals in vastly different ways, despite all animals deserving ethical considerations and compassion. Additionally, it implies that our mindset may be delusional, as we may conveniently overlook the stark contrast in treatment between these two groups of animals.

Traveling is a fool's paradise. Our first journeys discover to us the indifference of places. At home I dream that at Naples, at Rome, I can be intoxicated with beauty, and lose my sadness. I pack my trunk, embrace my friends, embark on the sea, and at last wake up in Naples, and there beside me is the stern fact, the sad self, unrelenting, identical, that I fled from. I seek the Vatican, and the palaces. I affect to be intoxicated with sights and suggestions, but I am not intoxicated. My giant goes with me wherever I go.

The Democrats co-opted the credit for the Civil Rights Act of 1964. But if you go back and look at the history, a larger percentage of Republicans voted for that than did Democrats. But a Democrat president signed it, so they co-opted credit for having passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
