Truth Quote by Melanie Joy — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“It is impossible to exercise free will as long as we are operating from within the system. Free will requires consciousness, and our pervasive and deep-seated patterns of thought are unconscious; they are outside of our awareness and therefore outside of our control. While we remain in the system, we see the world through the eyes of carnism. And as long as we look through eyes other than our own, we will be living in accordance to a truth that is not of our own choosing. We must step outside the system to find our lost empathy and make choices that reflect what we truly feel and believe, rather than what we've been taught to feel and believe.”

“When the time comes to die, make sure that all you have to do is die!”

“Don't change your mind just because people are offended; change your mind if you're wrong.”

“In oppressing, one becomes oppressed. Men are enchained by reason of their very sovereignty; it is because they alone earn money that their wives demand checks, it is because they alone engage in a business or profession that their wives require them to be successful, it is because they alone embody transcendence that their wives wish to rob them of it by taking charge...”

“This, the language of deception, we both understand. We were born to it, along with the curses.”

“My bullshit meter is reading that as 'false'.”
