Unspeakable suffering is being endured as we speak by billions, perhaps trillions of sentient creatures. Not only humans, but animals too. Predators ripping flesh from living prey, wounded fighters succumbing to necrotic flesh, starvation, and disease... uncountable farm animals struggling to breathe in battery cages, unable to stand, with open pus-filled wounds, skinned alive, boiled alive, thrown into whirring grinders moments after hatching... to say nothing of the untold millions of human beings kept as slaves, being tortured in prisons, having limbs blown off in war... how are we able to ignore this truly unimaginable suffering? It helps that we do not grasp large numbers very well. A million, a billion... these are abstractions to us. Our mind does not treat those numbers the same as we treat 1 and 100. Our feeble brains can not comprehend the scale of life. The creatures that could, having grasped, and then been torn apart by the terrible truth of reality, did not survive to pass on their genes. Our ignorance... and indifference, was weeded out of us for our own survival...
