I wish the noble knight was here too. He would have wise words to say about this. He always had wise words.
I know what you mean about people who don't want to see or hear about something unpleasant.
My thought is: If it's so bad that you can't stand to hear about it, what about animals that actually have to live it?
I don't think there is any benefit to hiding the truth from ourselves. Why would you want to pretend that things don't happen. Pretending the world is a sweet and wonderful place for everyone doesn't make it so. I would rather know the raw truth about the world and then work to make it better.
I think this book and movie are blunt enough to reach anyone. Now we just have to get people to read/watch them.
