A cat with a fish, about 1890, Kolkata, India

Kalighat School

“This image is connected with a legend in the Mahabharata epic, in which a cat pretends to live the life of an ascetic, but secretly continues its habit of eating mice. The theme came to represent the falseness of certain Brahmin priests, who continued to eat meat and fish despite their religion forbidding them.”

If we are the only rational beings in the Universe, as some recent evidence suggests, it matters even more whether we shall have descendants or successors during the billions of years in which that would be possible. Some of our successors might live lives and create worlds that, though failing to justify past suffering, would give us all, including some of those who have suffered, reasons to be glad that the Universe exists.
