Is there anything more wonderful than inter-species love?

Man/woman love is so overrated (as is obvious from the 50% divorce rate).

Isn’t it time Man embraced the animal in himself and in everything around him to develop an affinity with nature?

But before anyone scampers to their local park to pork a poodle, ask yourself one question - are you truly ready for everything inter-species love entails?

If so, read on.If not, skip upsetting yourself, dash to the comments section, and register your outrage.

But whatever you do… don’t continue reading.

Really. Don’t.

DON’T!

Still here? Didn’t the poodle satisfy you so you’re back for more ideas on how to spice up your life?

Or - and this is really out there - maybe you realize this post isn’t about inter-species sex.

But that very first sentence says: “Is there anything more wonderful than inter-species love?” What else could it be about?

Well, my ‘Obesity‘ post is an attack on fat people, not an indictment of the consumerist society we worship, isn’t it?
And ‘China‘ - that’s about invading China, not about us sacrificing a few Western luxuries so those in the East can lead better lives, isn’t it?
So, logically, what else could ‘Bestiality’ be about but sex with animals!

Unfortunately, some of this blog’s readers fixate on odd phrases which distract them from a post’s true meaning.

Just as an ‘old fashioned’ TV picture is composed of millions of dots, these posts are not about their individual phrases, sentences and ideas but about the bigger picture that all those parts paint together.

So why adopt a writing style which can confuse people?

We live in an age of information overload - everywhere we go, we get news, opinions, statistics, advertisements, advice screamed at us. Overwhelmed so, it’s impossible for us to process all but the most relevant information, so we’re oblivious to many global issues.

Coming at a subject from a unique angle means that it might cut through the clamour and reach people. Whether readers agree with my conclusion or not is incidental - the vital thing is that they consider the issue.

Why is it vital? Why don’t I just play nice and make it easy? Because we don’t have that option. Between poverty, disease, exploitation, global warming, and species extinctions, the world is in big trouble, yet most people don’t really know that much about it. Why?

Because they don’t question things. We are so consumed with own lives that we have little time for anything outside of them so it’s so easy and so tempting to simply take things on face value - like this post from its title and introduction!

Sorry, but that’s a luxury we can no longer afford. So, whether it’s the government, the media, or a simple blog post, we should always question and look for the ‘real’ truth, the ‘real’ meaning behind the words. Words can manipulate so easily.

So what is this post really about? Well, that depends on whether or not you’re confusing inter-species love with inter-species sex!

Check out this image gallery.

Tell me you don’t smile while looking at them.
Tell me you don’t marvel at the wonders of nature.
Tell me you aren’t moved by the unbelievable made believable.

10	There are conflicting stories about this tiger - the world news reported that she adopted these piglets after her cubs died; internet rumours question that. But what’s it matter? For a tiger to see defenseless, little piglets as anything but juicy pork chops is astounding!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqkzJoRua5U

9	How would you feel if every time you looked out of your window there, in your garden, a real-life Bambi and Thumper were playing together.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwYNmqHswF8

8	I don’t know anything about these two but then, you don’t have to - the picture says it all.

7	Okay, here’s one especially for all you cat/dog lovers out there. Get ready to say, “Awwwwww!”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-hT018rpBs

6	I don’t usually do ‘cute’, but sometimes you’ve just gotta smile! Plus, here’s a lesson for us all - put two ‘kids’ together at an early enough age and they don’t see race, gender, even species, all they see is another ‘kid’, another friend. Wonder why society never thought of that?

We’ve all had bad days. And we’ve all dreamed of being rescued by a hero. A dead kangaroo on the roadside is nothing unusual in Australia, so most people passed one on by in Torquay, Victoria… But then Rex isn’t most people! Alone, he pulled the dying joey from his mother’s pouch and gently carried him home, saving his life.

4	The 2004 the Indian Ocean tsunami didn’t only destroy people’s lives - meet Owen, a baby hippopotamus who lost his family and his home. Luckily, he was befriended by Mzee, a 130 year old tortoise.

3	When you’re just an average-sized dog, if you see a 1200lb (600kg) polar bear stalking towards you the last thing you’re going to think is that the bear is NOT looking for a meal but a playmate.

2	Little black cat Cassie was a stray until someone found her, took pity on her, and adopted her. Moses the crow became her new friend, provider, and protector.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JiJzqXxgxo

1	Kamunyak (meaning Blessed One) is a lioness in Kenya which, instead of eating a vulnerable, stray oryx calf, adopted it. Have you ever seen anything more beautiful, or more moving than this story?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uohryNBJWA

Okay, this is not normal for most of these animals. But does that matter? It’s not normal for every child to grow up to be an Einstein or a Monet yet we still hold up people of greatness as shining ideals of what any one of us COULD become. By the same logic, if an individual animal can achieve such levels of love, empathy and compassion, couldn’t the potential be there for the entire species?

Now, if these ‘primitive’ species can love so profoundly, with their ‘primitive’ worldviews and their ‘primitive’ concepts of ‘self’ and ‘other’, then, with our vast intellects and capacities for compassion and empathy, why do we find it so difficult to love our fellow creatures?

So, what’s this post about?

Two things.

With our aptitude for logical thought, why do we always demand instant gratification as if thinking is a chore to be avoided?

And secondly…

If ‘animals’ can show such profound love for each other, then why can’t we?

So go. See. Feel. Live.
Steve
P.S. Just in case anyone is STILL unclear about the meaning of this post, feel free to pose a question in a comment, but whatever you do, even though I talked about it in the opening section, please do NOT pork a poodle!

If you like my blog - the style, the passion, the philosophy - you’ll absolutely love ‘What if…?’, my suspense thriller. What’s it about?

When a mysterious stranger fights to end world poverty, his seeming ability to heal with just a touch catapults him to fame but thrusts him into a deadly struggle with corporate America and the White House that like the world just the way it is: under their control - poverty, disease, wars and all.

But can the stranger heal? Or is he the biggest villain of all, perpetrating the most elaborate scam of all time?

Is it any good?

‘An engaging and exciting thriller with a difference. It would hold its own with many of the books in the bestseller lists - and then some.’
Scott Pack, Book Reviewer, Me and My Big Mouth

‘”What if…?” is virtually flawless - Lee’s vision is precise, poetic, and skillfully crafted. It’s great writing with a great story, very well told.’
Nicholas Grabowsky, Bestselling Novelist

The gallery is wonderful! The message straightforward! Hopefully people will understand finally what you are trying to tell.
I was brought up amongst animals, they became such a big and important part of my life. And they gave me what many people couldn’t. And I have seen love between different species. I’ve seen the rats befriending cats and dogs.
I have known a rat who when I was in danger tried to “tell” about this to my friend and “cried” for help. And the same rat, years after, had waited till I come back home to die in my hand.
Pity, we humans are not able give the love back to each other and/or more importantly to the beasts.
# Brennan Kingslandon 25 Apr 2008 at 6:46 pm

Unfortunate title to the post, but I was willing to stick with you, due to reading your posts in the past.

The gallery is beautiful. I just hope some jerk doesn’t ‘misinterpret’ the title as societal approval for bestiality.
# alfiluvuon 25 Apr 2008 at 7:23 pm

Haha Steve you are such a cheeky monkey! I almost had kittens when I read your title and was ready to dive in like a bull in a china shop to kick butt. You almost set the cat amongst the pigeons but in this case it might have been a tea party.
I have seen some of these vids but not all and will definately take a look at those I havn’t because they are always so astounding and heartwarming. Animals have the innocence we had when we were children when we didn’t see the differences only the similarities. Thats’ what I love about them.
If only we humans could get back to that state of naturality we wouldn’t be in the pickle we are in today.
Thanx for making my day.

# Mark McCullaghon 25 Apr 2008 at 7:30 pm

Yeah, I echo Brennan’s comments. The title of the post threw me off at first but the videos and pics were, in a word, very heartwarming.
# Steve N. Leeon 25 Apr 2008 at 7:43 pm

Hi guys,

Thanks for having the faith to stick with me through that ‘tricky’ first section.

I hope people see what I’m getting at as the only way we are ever going to dig our way out of the hole we’ve stuck ourselves in is if enough people stop taking everything we’re told on face value, start asking tricky questions, and then demand to know the ‘real’ answers.

We’re force-fed garbage from every quarter. If we don’t make a stand soon, it’s going to be too late.

That’s a touching tale about your rat, Hanka. I’m sure most people have no idea that they can be such intelligent and loving creatures. Why? Because the media tells us they are stinking, filthy pests that spread disease - an excellent example of what I’m talking about.

Alfiluvu - yes, that’s just what I’m getting at with the monkey and tiger shot (or is it an ape, an orang?). It’s a pity we have that innocence beaten out of us.

Thanks for your support. Glad you enjoyed the gallery.

# Jaylena Echo Gon 25 Apr 2008 at 7:47 pm

I thought the title weird..but knowing your works from before I knew there was a catch. I love the video’s. This is a world I would love to be in and help to come about between all animals as well as humans respecting and loving all God’s creatures..Thank you Steve..YOU ROCK!..Jaylena
# SCOGOSTOLOGY.COMon 25 Apr 2008 at 8:31 pm

Okay, Steve, I got you. Your trick worked because it forced me to come to your blog to find out the 10 reasons why bestiality is beautiful! I was expecting to read about the 10 reasons why it is beautiful for a man to have sex with a monkey or a goat! But that is NOT what it is about. It is about animals loving each other, I guess, right?
# Blacktigeron 25 Apr 2008 at 10:48 pm

The tiger with the piglets was so sweet. Most people think pigs are dirty filthy and not worth a second look. I personally know that pigs are quite intelligent. The lion and onyx was also interesting, I could not see, but wondered if the lioness was lactating, as the calf seemed to grow while in her care.
# Lynn B.on 26 Apr 2008 at 1:13 am

Definitely a catchy and ‘potentially’ disturbing title Steve, IF people don’t choose to read on. I’m glad we all have read on so far because it’s a beautiful piece to read. There’s something to be said for shock value in a title as being very misleading IF people don’t choose to educate themselves as to the rest of the story and full content. Do we live in a split-second reactive world? Yes, many would say so.
Just last night I saw a story with a shocking title regarding an animal (and it was awful), but as I went to the story and read it through, not one of the commentators thus far had done the same or they would have been outraged as well at a second part of the story that was even worse and far more sinister and disgusting than what they were reacting to in the title!
Thank you for the inspiring story and movies and photos in this post, as well as the thoughts it brings of how much more beautiful a world it could be if people were as non-judgmental and loving as animals :-)
# Jacolin Son 26 Apr 2008 at 2:25 am

I LOVE your beautiful stories Steve, KEEP ON WRITING !!!
# Jillyanne Michelle Capeon 26 Apr 2008 at 3:18 am

Beautiful, uplifting! Thanks!
# Natalie Bakeron 26 Apr 2008 at 5:08 am

I have enjoyed the pictures and the video clips.I have always been surrounded by animals,that is why it is not surprising for me that different species interact in a friendly manner.And I know for sure that many things are not what they seem.
# Avril Kon 26 Apr 2008 at 7:48 am

I started with oh dear, but i`ll try to carry on, Steve great pictures
enjoyed the video clips, got the meassage, thanks.
# Dagny McKinleyon 26 Apr 2008 at 2:11 pm

Loved this post. You have the power all writers want, to be able to pull someone in with a first sentence. I agree, why can’t we all spread love regardless of race, religion or sex. Thanks for sharing!

# Steve N. Leeon 26 Apr 2008 at 2:39 pm

You guys are great!

To be honest, Lynn and Avril, I thought it was a little risky using such a title, too - I wonder how many readers saw it and instantly went elsewhere? - but I thought it was the best way to make a point. It’s worth losing a few readers if the message is utlimately appreciated - quality over quantity applies to readers as well as content! (Think that’s a compliment there for all of you!)

And, as Dagny said, such a title is a great way to pull people into an important issue. (Thanks for your kind words, Dagny, Jacolin, Jaylena, and Jillyanne!) It’s hard keeping the novelist in me at bay sometimes, but luckily, he usually turns out to know what he’s doing, hence the ‘quirky’ idea that started off this post. Misdirection is an excellent way to drag a reader into a story and illicit a reaction, which, when you are talking about conservation, human rights, and animal welfare, is vitally important.

Brennan, there are a lot of jerks around, but I doubt they’d read far into the article as it becomes apparent quite quickly that this won’t be what they’re expecting. Surely a donkey in stockings would’ve appeared before the second paragraph! As I’m sure you were fearing one might, Avril!

Yes, Natalie, it is a testament to the animal kingdom that so many species can live in harmony while we humans find it difficult to live with our own kind, let alone others.

Blacktiger - if you click on the links in the text about the lion and the oryx you’ll get more info on the pair, especially Kamunyak. Do be aware, though, that this is a wildlife tale, and we all know that those don’t always come with a ‘and they lived happily ever after’ ending.

Hope you’re all having a great weekend,
Steve
# Terrie Won 26 Apr 2008 at 4:20 pm

LOL cheeky Steve!!! Very cheeky! Good thing I READ and not SCAN!~ I understand what you are getting at. ‘Shock and awe’ sesationalism is about the only thing that gets through to people anymore because we are so bombarded every day wth ‘noise’ both visual and audial. MOST people nowadays no longer stop and take the TIME to do anything MEANINGFUL, let alone THINK.

Most, not all, do not want to use their brains–it might hurt!

And have you noticed lately that our wonderful (heavy sarcasm here) political idiots with the help of their Igors (Media) are now trying to program people without education to hate on those that do. This is what totalitarian regimes do–now I am seeing it happen here. Sigh. And the SHEEPLE are eating it up (believing it).

I loved the video’s and pics Steve. They warmed my heart. Animals are closer to perfection than humans. They can love unconditionally. Something humans, I fear, will never evolve to. It is our nature to destroy that which is not ‘like us’. We are excellent at self-destruction. Unfortunately, we are going to take the entire world, and every living thing, down with us.

Cynical? Getting that way in a hurry. I try very hard every day to be more like my dogs, towards human beings. I fail constantly but I STILL keep trying. That is the point–I try.
# Penelopeon 26 Apr 2008 at 4:34 pm

I hope the ruse worked.
Luvly videos and pics. Actually usd one of these myself sum time back as a comment for my friends as to why can’t we humans do it if they can? So a message I heartilly endorse.
# Kent Butleron 26 Apr 2008 at 5:25 pm

Very well done, as always, Steve. I’d seen some of the materials, but your assembly of the gallery was masterful.

Yes, our species has an “aptitude for logical thought”, but I believe it to be in woefully short supply in practice. What we do have is very deep distress ecologically, economically, and socially. May God have mercy on us for our stupidity.
# Deannaon 26 Apr 2008 at 6:59 pm

Steve, I loved it! Especially the twist and misdirection. Make people sit up, open their eyes and think! I liked it so much I posted about it and told everyone they had to take some time and read it, that they would love it too but I did warn them not to be put off by the title and intro… LOL
# Steve N. Leeon 26 Apr 2008 at 7:52 pm

Thanks for the link-love, Deanna. Glad you liked it. I hope your readers do too. Yes, the misdirection made me giggle while I wrote the first draft, and Ania laughed out loud when she read it. I’m sure there are many people who haven’t seen the funny side, though, and have stormed away from my site in an outraged huff!

Stupidity? More like criminal negligence! But, yes, you’re right, Kent. And that is so, so worrying!

And you’ve hit upon something else worrying, Terrie - the state of our education and what utter garbage is being force-fed to our children. In fact that’s not just worrying, but downright scary!

And no doubt ’someone’ will find something to write about on that very subject at some point.

Thanks,
Steve
# Steve N. Leeon 26 Apr 2008 at 8:06 pm

Oops…

Forgot to mention. I’m trying - rather unsuccessfully - to fund the costs of this site with Google advertising that relies simply on people clicking ads, whether they ultimately buy anything or not. Google’s system is pretty impressive - it analyzes a page’s contents, extracts the keywords (e.g. dog, animal rights, conservation, etc) and then displays relevant ads from its database that match those keywords.

Now, I don’t know what Google U.S. is showing on that side of the Atlantic, but Google U.K. has totally blanked this page - not one single ad.

Terminator is one of my favourite movie franchises of all time. It does look like mankind is safe from annihilation by intelligent machines, though, as we have weapons of mass destruction we didn’t even know we had - dry wit and irony! Machines just can’t handle it!

Strange that everyone who’s read this post gets its subtle and complex ideas totally, while a machine that only has to pick out a few odd words is completely thrown by just that one ‘tricky’ one in the title.
Steve
# Pilion 26 Apr 2008 at 8:22 pm

I was very surprised about the title, but somehow I knew you were trying

to make a point. You did that with the samples here, and they are very

good. The animals´ love is unconditional. We, humans, need to learn

from them. Thanks Steve for posting such an eye opener.
# Warren Jeffrey Motteron 27 Apr 2008 at 1:37 am

Have been seeing so many of these videos, lately. Do believe that Creator is attempting to get us two-leggeds to help one another instead of being so in-humane. Let the Furry Ones in touch with Creator lead the way. Then, let’s all follow.
# Betty Howardon 27 Apr 2008 at 2:51 pm

Thank you Deanna, for bringing this to my attention. This was a beautiful way to start the day. If the point of this article would, by miracle of miracles, become daily routine, then we would have found Heaven.
# Troy Doolyon 27 Apr 2008 at 11:34 pm

Steve,

I have to say because of my marketing background I was intrigued and had to read your post.

I did make sure my wife was watching just in case I had to take a leak or get a drink and she happened to stroll by and see the headline :)

Great post as always!!!!

Never Give Up,

# Personal Development by TRCoachon 29 Apr 2008 at 9:57 pm

There are 4 definitions of bestiality.
1. brutish or beastly character or behavior; beastliness.
2. indulgence in beastlike appetites, instincts, impulses, etc.
3. an instance of bestial character or behavior.
4. sexual relations between a person and an animal.
I’m going to use #1 Sometimes beastly character can be very loving. I’m sure many people have pets who sometimes show more love than the humans do.

Thanks,Tom(TRCoach)
# Deniseon 01 May 2008 at 7:45 pm

I knew that this title was misleading on purpose, which is brilliant! In fact, I love reading your posts-very thought-provoking & intelligent!
# Samantha Overyon 11 May 2008 at 11:07 pm

Hi Steve,
Extremely well done,you would be a top seller in the corporate world of advertising and ‘false’ advertising. We always need to do more than just scratch the surface to find out what is below the depths otherwise we find we are reporting that the sky is falling.Also judging a book by it’s cover is rarely a good idea. Great to see you drawing the crowds in with your ingenuity. Great entertainment value.I eagerly awit the next installment.
# Farleyon 14 May 2008 at 1:34 am

It’s been a while since I came across such an article, the illiteracy of whose author would have been a boon for all mankind. Steve, it’s not that I don’t “agree” with you, but please stop, right now. You can’t wrote for f*ck [edited]. Hugs and kisses.
# Steve N. Leeon 14 May 2008 at 1:59 pm

Farley, if you are joking, then don’t give up your day job to be a comedian.

If you are serious, then this truly is hilarious!

Forget Shakespeare, Hemmingway, Dickens… I wonder what works of genius could have been penned if only everyone was as great at writing words together as what you are like. (Oh…! Look at that! It’s easier to write like an illiterate imbecile than I thought!)

For someone who has absolutely no concept of grammar, punctuation, or even of the forming of cogent sentences, you sure do like to give voice to your opinions, don’t you? If only you had something worth saying and knew how to say it.

Thanks for making me smile, Farley.
Steve

P.S. You’re banned from my blog. Not because of what you said about me but because your lack of intelligence and vocabulary led you to fall back on that old standby of the illiterate - the F word.

P.P.S. It is strange how it was this particular post that caught your eye with regards to my writing talent, or lack there of. Now far be it from me to suggest that upstanding Farley here is any kind of sicko, but it does seem a coincidence. After all, finding a post with a title like this ones must be like waking up Christmas morning and finding yourself in Santa’s grotto - if you’re a twisted pervert, that is. Could such sexual frustration lead someone to want to vent if they found cats befriending birds and hippos playing with tortoises but were craving baboons in bras and cows in lipstick? Yep, I think we’ve all got your number, Farley!
# iamasison 11 Jan 2009 at 12:01 am

Very nice post

well impressed. to highlight the white instead of the black. To bring to the forefront the positive instead of the negative!!!!

It’s a necessary in this life isn’t it?? And it will always brings cheer and applause from the populous, the mass, those who fight the dark and never realise that it is an intrinsic part of who we are.

There is no dark without light, no white without black. Balance is such an important truth in this world and those who strictly adhere to one view are equally at fault in the disintegration of our evolution, in their own misguided way, then those who have committed the most heinous crimes in society since time immemorial.

Thank you for this post, your view, as lovely and enlightening as it may seem, adds to cementing the doom of our society as we know it.

Please do not reply to my post. The email address provided is fraudulent and in truth my opinion matters as much as a mosquito floating on the winds on time and space.

Best regards

Mosquito
# Steve N. Leeon 16 Jan 2009 at 11:31 am

I’m “cementing the doom of our society”, am I? The “disintegration of our evolution” is down to people like me actively trying to raise awareness of vital issues and promote positive action?

Mosquito, I’m pleased you ‘kind of’ liked my post, but I’m afraid you’re talking through the back of your neck. See, I don’t mind people disagreeing with me and telling me I’m talking rot, but in order to do that they have to provide an intelligent, logical argument. Not to mention, be prepared for me to lavish equal praise upon their thoughts!

Light and dark? Balance? Yes, I know that. Lao-Tsu said, ‘To see beauty as beauty means one must also know ugliness; to see good as good means one must also know evil.’ (You obviously haven’t read my book as a character uses that very quote to illustrate a point.) You see, I am not just pandering to hemp-wearing, vegetable-eating, ‘the sky is falling’ loons, here!

As Plato said, “A wise man speaks because he has something to say; a fool speaks because he has to say something.” (Again, used in my book.) This isn’t just hot air I’m blowing! I know much of what I say will fall on deaf ears, and I don’t profess to know everything, to be some sort of guru, but if people can’t see any worth in any of my posts then there’s something seriously lacking in that person, not in my words.

Balance is all well and good, but you can’t put all the world’s attrocities down to ‘balance’ and so just let them carry on. You have to draw the line and fight at some point. Or should we just let racism, poverty, injustice continue because it ‘balances’ the work of all those pesky, bleeding heart, do-gooders?

So, I’m “cementing the doom of our society” and aiding the “disintegration of our evolution”? Yeah, right.

But the thing that surprises me most is why you placed such a disparaging comment on this particular post? It would be out of place on other posts, but here it just seems ridiculous.

Sorry, but you’re talking garbage.
Steve
P.S. As to why you imagine I reply to all my comments here and then on top of that waste my time by again replying to them in personal emails, God knows. Or is it that you feel your comment is so worthy of such a reply that I wouldn’t be able to resist without your warning? Don’t worry, I’ve managed to resist testing that email address!
# MOONon 30 Jan 2009 at 9:25 am

GREAT WORDS: ‘To see beauty as beauty means one must also know ugliness; to see good as good means one must also know evil.’
I JUST SAW THIS POST-KNEW IT WOULD BE GOOD AS ALWAYS-A “THINKER”!
MOSQUITO IS JUST ANOTHER “TROLL”!
I’M AN ARA ON C2-I POST MANY STORIES ABOUT THE HORROR’S DONE TO ANIMAL’S-MOST DAYS I HAVE TO LOOK REALLY, REALLY HARD TO FIND THE BEAUTY OR GOOD IN ANYTHING, BUT IF IT WASN’T THERE “SOMEWHERE” I COULDN’T DO WHAT I DO AND STILL STAY SANE. WHEN ALL THE HORROR’S THAT HUMAN’S DO TO OTHERS AND IT GET’S TO THE POINT I JUST CAN’T LOOK AT ANOTHER PICTURE OF WHAT HUMANS DO TO ANIMALS-I THINK TO MYSELF “I JUST CAN’T DO THIS ANYMORE” I GET UP FROM MY COMP.-GO OUTSIDE–IT’S USUALLY WAY UP IN THE A.M. AFTER HOURS ON C2-MY STALLION “JOKER” IS ALWAYS THERE-I HAVE 20+ ANIMALS, BUT HE IS SPECIAL AND SUCH A KIND, LOVING SOUL AND MY FRIEND. I GO OUT AND TELL HIM ABOUT ALL THE HORRORS I’VE SEEN THAT DAY AND TALK ABOUT THEM-HE ALWAYS SEEMS TO UNDERSTAND MY PAIN FOR THE ANIMALS AND I ALWAYS COME BACK FOR THE ANIMALS.
THIS MAY NOT BE WHAT YOU MEANT AT ALL STEVE, BUT IT’S HOW I SEE: ‘To see beauty as beauty means one must also know ugliness; to see good as good means one must also know evil.’

BY THE WAY-”JOKER” IS A 6 YR. OLD STALLION AND IN HIS PASTURE WITH HIM ARE HIS (STRANGE HERD) THAT HE’S VERY PROTECTIVE OF: ANOTHER 5 YR. OLD STALLION-2 GELDINGS-2 MARES-A LLAMA & A DONKEY-MOSTLY RESCUES-JOKER IS ONE OF THE “BEAUTIFUL-GOOD ONE’S”!

# Steve N. Leeon 30 Jan 2009 at 9:55 am

Yes, I have very little time for ‘trolls’ as you call them, Brenda. I never ignore them, like some bloggers, but I do vary the degree of scorn I lavish upon them depending on if I can be bothered dealing with such people with such warped worldviews.

It’s good to make others aware of the horrors in the world, you’re right, but it’s vital to also show them the beauty too or else they’ll become desensitized and not know what all the fuss is about anyway.

I’m glad you have your special friend - Joker. Everybody needs someone who’ll listen. But 20 animals? That’s a lot of ears! I bet you have a rare old time with so many ‘friends’, especially as you’ve rescued them and are giving them a life they must never have imagined. Good on you, Brenda.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts,
Steve

It does kind of make you wonder what is so damn hard about loving someone who maybe doesn’t look or act like you or maybe comes from a different part of the city/state/country/world…
