Hippo

The idea of religious reverence for life actually came to me when I sailed down the river Ogowe. There is near the village Igendja island with sandy shoals, where the swim like hippopotami. I watched the pirogue to the old wisdom about things in the protection and upbringing of their offspring. At that moment I realized that ethics, which deals only with relationships between people, it is incomplete recall Albert Schweitzer on the fundamental piece to a new system of environmental ethics.

European thinkers have had probably upset that the ethics should run about some animals - Ethics has to do only with obligations to the people! - Kant said, but the responsibility to all life on planet Earth, bringing new learning to perfection.
When my brother, he read recently that I have a thick skin, I could not help but smile - See hippos and just swam around the first idea how to behave to all life - I flipped through the file of Albert Schweitzer - a few months I lived in constant internal tension. Even the daily work of the hospital has not been paid by me focused, but bezuspesneho thinking about the nature of a positive relationship to the world and life ...- And I read further - I wandered in vain for a houstinach way. I had to take the river cruise. I slowly crept upstream. It was the dry season. Distracted, I sat on the board, a tow boat and wondering about a universal concept of ethics, which I did not find in any philosophy ... The evening of the third day, when I am at sunset floated through a herd of hippos, suddenly arose before me, and unsuspected nehledano, the word respect for life.
At that moment I jumped into my lap with the Chinese Crested female dog Itynka - Where are all still there in the ill treatment of animals, even to the torture! - Sued me her eyes stung - It pisingru, cos my morning coffee refused to give, is also painted hippopotamus,and I got overly much. Hippo is the posusnanicko and if you deny me, he will know certainly association for the protection of animals. Hmmmm, I really wonder what will you do? - So I sighed, got up and went for good. Someone has a thick skin and the other is content with wafers, friends life dogs with sweet addition.
