Egypt Economy Animal Shelter

A donkey who was rescued before its owners were about to send it to the Giza Zoo to feed lions because of its old age, stands at the Egyptian Society for Mercy to Animals (ESMA) animal shelter in Saqqara, some 30 kilometers (19 miles) south of Cairo, Egypt, Monday, March 6, 2017. The society is a charitable organization that shelters more than 700 cats and dogs. Volunteers also work to increase public awareness about the welfare of all animals in Egypt. The shelter has experienced a hit due to the economic situation with increased prices and lack of medical supplies. If donations do not start coming in, the society might be forced to shut down for good.: photo by Nariman El-Mofty/AP, 6 March 2017

Brecht: The person falls to pieces


'I' am no person. I come into being in every moment and scarcely last. I emerge in the form of an answer. The only permanence in me is what answers that call for an answer, what thereby remains permanent.
.
The person falls to pieces, loses its breath. It passes over into something else, is nameless, no longer hears reproaches, fleeing its extension into its smallest dimension, fleeing its dispensability into nothingness -- yet on reaching the smallest dimensionality, with a deep breath at having passed across, it realizes its indispensability in the whole.

Bertolt Brecht, unpublished fragments, 1930s, collected in Aesthetics and Politics, 1977
