Every Living Creature is a collection of essays written by Ralph Waldo Trine, a prominent American philosopher and writer. The book explores the interconnectedness of all living beings and the importance of treating every creature with kindness and respect.Trine argues that every living creature has a unique purpose and value in the world, and that humans have a responsibility to protect and care for them. He discusses the ethical implications of animal cruelty, hunting, and the destruction of natural habitats, and advocates for a more compassionate and sustainable approach to our relationship with the natural world.The book covers a wide range of topics, including the intelligence of animals, the benefits of vegetarianism, and the spiritual dimensions of our connection to nature. Trine draws on his own experiences as well as scientific research and philosophical insights to make a compelling case for the importance of treating every living creature with love and compassion.Written in a clear and accessible style, Every Living Creature is a thought-provoking and inspiring read for anyone interested in animal welfare, environmentalism, or spirituality.1899.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Christian civilisation and power, there, with a population of some three hundred millions, there is but one-fourth the amount of crime that there is each year in England, with a population of some twenty mil Uons, and only a fraction of what it is in the United States, with a population of not more than one-fourth the population of I ndia. These are most significant facts; they are mdeed facts of tremendous import, and we would do wisely to estimate them at their proper value. We cannot begin too early in inculcating what I would term humane sentiments in the mind and heart of every individual. How early and almost unconsciously the mother, for example, gives the first lessons of thoughtlessness, carelessness, and what will eventually result in cruelty or even crime, to her child. The child is put upon the hobby-horse, a whip is put into his little hand, and he is told :N ow whip the old horse and make him go. With this initial lesson, continued in various ways, we find the eager desire the child has for whipping, when he gets the whip into his hands in a waggon behind a real horse.
