We're on a big spaceship hurtling through space and there's two types of species on this spaceship - the passengers and the crew.
The crew run this ship - the insects, the fish, the worms. They give us the air we breathe, the food we eat, they take care of our wastes, they regulate our climate.
We're just having a good time. We're the passengers. But we're going to be in big trouble if we kill off the crew. So we've got to protect the crew.

The real secret to a long life:
it's not your attitude - there are people who are happy who live long lives and there are people who are grumpy
it's not what you ingest - there are people on natural, healthy diets who live long lives and people who smoke and drink alcohol every day
It's not your environment - there are people all over the world and in all social stratum who live long lives.
There is only one true secret to a long life: keep breathing!

Lately, in my astrology and coaching sessions a number of people have said "but can't everyone do that?"
People generally think that the things they're good at, everyone else is too, while those things they don't do well are unique to them.
It's actually the other way around.
