LOVE IS TO RESPECT ALL MAN IN THIS WISDOM TO SEEK TRUTH. ANIMALS ARE NOT OBJECTS FOR CRUEL TORTURE YET MAN IS THE EVIL OF THEIR PAIN 7 SUFFERING. THERE IS NOW NEED TO OBJECTIFY ANIMALS IN THESE TIMES BUT FOR THE GREED OF MAN. FAUX FUR AND FAUX LEATHER. PROTEIN FROM MANY OTHER SOURCES NOT THE LIFES OF ANIMALS. SEEK WISDOM. THERE IS NO GOD YET MANS TRUTH IS HISTORY SHOWS US YET BLIND EYES SEEKS THE PASSION OF TRUTH YET WHY RUN FROM COMPASSION FOR ALL LIFE. MAN HAS LOST HIS WAY IF RULED IN BLOOD.

[GOLDENFLYWARRIOR]

AWESOME POWER OF MANS STRUGGLE. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER IN MANS REALITY AND THERE IS NO GOD BUT ONLY MAN TO HELP EACH OTHER. ONLY THOSE THAT SEEK KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM WILL OPEN THEIR MINDS TO QUESTION AND FORMS OF WISOM TO MANS PURPOSE. WE SURELY ARE NOT HERE TO CONTINUE THE PAIN & SUFFER OF MAN OR ANIMALS. GLAD I DO NOT EAT THEM AND KNOW THE THRUTH OF MAN IS TO HAVE COMPASSION AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE HEART IS OUR GREATEST BLESSING. PASSION OF TRUTH IS LIFES OF THE LIFE OF THE BEHOLDER. VEGANS RULE!

@WatchThemForFun one of two options. get a shakespearian translation, or learn to speak his dialect. I did the latter and trust me, once you understand, you will love him.

FUCKING FAGGOT PIECE OF SHIT!!! IReapZz is sooo much better than this wank, fanboy twat.

[teee2]

I thought it lacked pace, he seemed too 'reasonable'.

After all Lear is at the end of his tether at this stage!

I suggest you get the No Fear Shakespeare to understand the play, it has a modern line by line translation, then youll appreciate the language

[WatchThemForFun]

I gotta learn this play for a test... Not a big fan! I watch 25 seconds then spend half an hour descifering what the hell that meant! I do not like Shakespeare!!! :(

[Ch1p5t3r]

[MidnighWolf]
