EUGENE’S OATH
So long as there exists in society the reliance on euphemism to cover the dark lies of profiteering, cruelty, and hypocrisy. So long as the inherent moral dignity of all living things is eradicated by objectification, suffering and confinement. So long as living beings are shrouded by hopelessness, ignorance, and the vicious asphyxiation of a stolen childhood; so long as pain and brutality are covered by the sham of acceptability; then my human presence, value, and service to the world shall not be useless, for my outlook is to reach the optimal level of capability, to search for truth, meaning, purpose, and excellence, and to reveal what I have learned with the world.
