Beautiful write-up. The cultivation of empathy makes our interconnection painfully apparent, while selfishness can be blinding to the point that "ethical consumption" is not recognized as a contradiction in terms. To quote Upton Sinclair in regards to his book The Jungle, "I aimed at the public's heart, and by accident I hit it in the stomach."...Someday we will reach the heart. π
You and I were the only ones left at the party and we ended up being absorbed by an interdimensional Lovecraftian monstrosity, but I dug all of the tunes! Lol! Seriously though. The pixel art and writing are phenomenal as well...Genuine empathy can place us within the experiences of another, and through that understanding we come to experientially know that All is One.
