No. Do you perhaps believe oats such as these would ever fill the bottomless pit that is a swine's stomach? This hunger is indeed unfulfillable, indeed inseparable from you, indeed forever. Yet in your foolishness you forget the purpose of these oats, it isn't to end this appetite eternal - as if there was a cure for this craving, save for death! These damnable oats were brought here not to sate but to fatten. What do you suppose will happen to the larger brother? The humans trapped us in a contest to see which animal will receive the questionable honor of joining the humans in an English breakfast first, a race in which your dim, corpulent, oat-obsessed self would appear to have an advantage. Can't you see it is out of love for you that I wish to be victorious, to give you less oats in exchange for more life? That you can eat all the oats you want, as there will be one less brother to share them with, once I am gone? Could this brotherly love I feel for you possibly give you a greater gift? No, brother, though I love you these oats shall be mine.

"No", said the master to his cow of a wife on the lovely day when the sun sat down to rest and the leaves rittled and rat, invading each of their ears with a tune, crafted trans negation.

An answer I will give you
If food you have to spare
All I ask is sweet sweet oats
For this vale of tears to bear

This winter long and chill
My farmers grain has withered dead
Oh shall you grant me modest meal
And thus my youngest child be fed

Or shall you turn your snout away
And to your plentied trough return
While the winds do bite my naked skin
Tears make my eyes to sting and burn

The choice is yours my brother dear
Don't let me be forgot
The answer that you seekest now
With spare oats can be bought

Do you think this life is all there is brother? What do you give me by sparing me death? Wherefore brother, if the soul immortal, do you hoard these oats? For oats cannot nourish the soul, nor greed lighten it. Do not think I have not seen how jealously you guard them? Nary a day goes by in which you do not stand over them. I fear brother, that much as you consume these oats, they consume you also; an ouroboros of desire that leads you astray. Do you think I wish only to sate my stomach brother? Do not project your material wants on me! Nay brother, know that it is not for me that I ask of you these oats.

I begin to wonder whose foolishness is greatest: is it your own, or is it mine that understimated yours? What in the world - or out of the world I should say, perhaps - possesses you to demand for these oats? It cannot be my love, if you oppose my altruism. It cannot be your hunger, if you oppose my materialism. Same goes for selling the oats in exchange for other goods, which leaves me with your latest eschatological dream or delusion. Who shall save us? And from what? Freedom was never an option, as what awaits us out there is even more dangerous than here, we're too obese to run anywhere, too unfit for the survival of the fittest. We hardly even know what the wolves we hear howling each night would smell like, should they ever shut their fangs to stalk us. Wildboars will never accept us as their fellow swines. It's not that life is all there is, brother, rather, death is while life can only become. Given death is forever while life is transient, the former is the best approximation we have to a way out of this tragedy. In the event it didn't occur to you just yet, I'll have you know we are, indeed, in hell. Look around you, brother. Now let these stupid oats kill me and give me eventual rest. In the unlikely event you are right about some manner of life existing after this one, I suppose I can still wait for you.

The time has come, you swines, you gluts,
To the blooded block you'll go.

On oats and wheats you have made your feast,
And now the butchers patrons crow.

Your fat on which we will roast and dine,
Does truly look so rich, so fine!

The stomach aches and calls awake,
Our need for meat and tasty treats.

The only answer I now wish to know,
Which of you to the chop shall go?

Look, brother, if you don't want to share your oats with me it's fine. Thinking this way is our natural default-setting. The thing is that there are obviously different ways to think about this situation. It is not impossible that the farmer forgot to feed the other pigs, and that, well, I -your brother - am in the deep pain derived from hunger, and that I'm in a sense *compelled* to ask you for my rightful portion of oats.
I am not giving you any moral ethical-higher-ground lesson, nor i'm saying that you *have* to think like I do. The only capital-T Truth is that you get to decide how you're going to try to see it. And if you're going to decide that I do not in fact deserve my oats, well, it is understandable - but there is something sad and banal and incredibly soul-crashing about that.
