What he sees, he does not wish for, But something that he does not see; I think that he will wander long, And what he wishes, not obtain. He is not pleased with what he gets; No sooner gained, it meets his scorn. Insatiable are all wishes ! Those who are wish-free, therefore, we adore ! The Buddha
-------------------- May all sentient beings be well and happy. May all sentient beings be free from suffering. May all sentient beings live in peace and freedom.

I know I'm just a silly old sentimental biologist who has spent a good part of my life observing kindly functioning nature, but I'd like to extend those wishes to some of the lesser, non-sentient organisms as well.
Our human arrogance and greed, most recently demonstrated by BP and their stockholders, is nothing for us humans to be in any way proud of. Hopefully the shrimp, turtles, jellyfish, crawdaddies and other helpless life forms will, collectively, forgive us once again.

The sentient being is generally defined as any living creature which has developed enough consciousness awareness to experience feelings,particularly suffering. This generally includes all animal life. Of course, I do not wish for any plants or organisms to be harmed and I sincerely hope man will learn to help the Earth instead of the contrary.
