upon reflection a universe so arranged that there is no way of living except by destroying other lives seems to be a hideous mistake, not a divine but a devilish creation... perhaps thinking about the world and objecting to its whole principle are simply two aspects of but one activity. the very words suggest that we must object to everything that becomes an object. but aren't there times when we speak of something that we know as a subject... i wonder then would it be possible to subject to life instead of objecting? is this merely playing with words, or does it possibly mean something?
