Summary

This quote suggests a progression from the divine to the human, and finally to a collective or group mentality. It implies that the original sense of spirituality or higher purpose has gradually shifted towards a more chaotic and potentially destructive collective consciousness. It raises questions about the potential consequences and implications of such a transition, hinting at an erosion of individuality and a descent into the tumultuous influence of mob or mob-like behavior.

Sometimes events that lead us bereft of anything but grief just happen for no reason other than happenstance--a car turns left instead of right, a train is missed, a call comes too late--and the real test of our humanness is whether, in light of that knowledge, we are ever able to recover. When we again find our way despite the inability to manufacture a deeper meaning in our suffering, that I think is when God smiles upon us, proud of the strength of his creation.

Perhaps one of the most important things you can do for human beings is wean them off an animal-based diet. It hardens the arteries and runs up our health-care costs. The last thing a poor person can afford is a heart attack or cancer or a stroke. And that's all linked to a meat-based diet. I think animal liberation is human liberation.
