And also on the Unjust feller
But mainly on the Just, because
Unjust has stolen Just's umbrella.

It's difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality. It's a wonder I haven't abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart

This was a horrible proposal [that the eight year old Albert join a friend in killing birds with a sling] ... but I dared not refuse for fear he would laugh at me.
So we came to a tree which was still bare and on which the birds were singing out gaily in the morning, without any fear of us.
Then stooping over like an Indian on the hunt, my companion placed a pebble in the leather of his sling and stretched it. Obeying his peremptory glance I did the same, with frightful twinges of conscience, vowing firmly that I would shoot when he did.
At that very moment the church bells began to sound, mingling with the song of the birds in the sunshine. It was the warning bell that came a half-hour before the main bell.
For me it was a voice from heaven. I threw the sling down, scaring the birds away, so that they were safe from my companions sling, and fled home.
And ever afterwards when the bells of Holy Week ring out amidst the leafless trees in the sunshine I remember with moving gratitude how they rang into my heart at that time the commandment: Thou shalt not kill
- Albert Schweitzer

The thinking man must oppose all cruel customs no matter how deeply rooted in tradition and surrounded by a halo. When we have a choice, we must avoid bringing torment and injury into the life of another, even the lowliest creature; to do so is to renounce our manhood and shoulder a guilt which nothing justifies
- Albert Schweitzer
