"Master, the other day I thought myself lucky in finding a book called 'The Conquest of Happiness'. I thought it would be full of wisdom, True Words, full of the Way. On opening it, the first sentence showed it to be different. It said: 'Animals are happy so long as they have health and enough to eat', a monstrous statement. How can a writer, Russell here, write such utter nonsense? It is a justification for keeping birds and squirrels in cages, an insult against Man's Dignity and a curse against living Nature."
"Ah, but Russell was a mathematician and in that business there is little writing to do, so he turned to pseudology and philosophy. One cannot study Mind-Science without starting from the very basics, the drive for all ideation, which is CONTROL. Otherwise, it would be like studying the wheel without knowing it to be round. The most absurd statements and definitions, then, result. Russell should have gone to 'New Forest' and observe free living horses and compare these with all captive horses. Speak sparingly of happiness with ingoramoi Ling, it is too vague a concept for the unknowing person. Speak rather of Nature's Way, of Harmony, of Rights & Duties, Man's Dignity. The Man who keeps an animal enslaved without dire need, has no shred of right to freedom himself."
