All these things, they're fictions. If people bear in mind this distinction, it could improve the way we treat one another and the other animals. It's not a good idea to cause suffering to real entities in the service of fictional stories.

Imagination is as close as we will ever be to godhead, Poison, for in imagination, we can create wonders.
