“At the heart of all beauty lies something inhuman, and these hills, the softness of the sky, the outline of these trees at this very minute lose the illusory meaning with which we had clothed them, henceforth more remote than a lost paradise. The primitive hostility of the world rises up to face us across millennia. For a second we cease to cease to understand it because for centuries we have understood in it solely the images and designs that we attributed to it beforehand, because henceforth we lack the power to make use of that artifice. The world evades us because it becomes itself again. That strange scenery masked by habit becomes again what it is. Just as there are days when under the familiar face of a woman, we see as a stranger her we had loved months or years ago, perhaps we shall come even to desire what suddenly leaves us alone.”

- Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus

A pregnant six-year-old female and her nine-year-old bull companion were drugged and de-horned by poachers in South Africa. The rhinos were darted with an overdose of a morphine derivative, known as M99, before having their horns hacked off with pangas or machetes. Besides losing the horns, the female is likely to lose her unborn calf as a result of the ordeal

This has to stop. We’ve already lost the Western Black Rhino in the last year.

jeffreyo:

You can be a workaholic, a traveler, or a great lover and still feel empty at the end of the day. The hollowness in your heart, whatever you do, stays right where it belongs. We do our best to minimize the feeling with the things in life like addicting substances, love, money, outlets, and self-acknowledgement but that black hole will always be there.
