RE: When They Won't Play With You
Yes, unfortunately we live in what i call "The Disposable Era". We have been socialized to get rid of something at the slightest inconvenience, the next better thing is only a swipe away. again this is driven by ego and the "want" and "own" perspective. it is quite unfortunate for the animals involved and i pity those who lack the ability to have empathy and compassion for other beings.
That being said I take solace in knowing that some of these animals end up in the care of people such as us and those commenting on our posts who are willing to do what is needed to bring peace back into the animals lives.
You and I need to get together in chat, we share so many ideals... Are you on Discord yet?
I call it "Throwaway Society" and as a relationship coach, I use it to refer to the state of marriages...
Not too long ago, when something was broken you fixed it.
Now? When it's broke you throw it away. Including marriages and families...
No im not sure what Discord is, lol. i keep my net footprint as small as possible so i have FB, youtube.... and that is about it, lol. well steemit now too :P
Yeah i totally get you, hence my reference to swiping. Do you know of Kintsugi ? it is a Japanese art form of repairing with gold as it gives the piece character and history making it more valuable.
the modern push for consumerism has removed this way of thinking for many, but some do exist who believe in this way of thinking.
I have not heard of this yet.
The ancient arts, simply just ways of doing things, are so much better than the modern ones...
One of my dreams is to have a real rescue home. So far it's been in my humble home, so I can only take in so many. I want a house with a couple acres to take in horses as well. I even created a gofund me! I will accept veterinary interns who will both learn and have hands on experience with not only the medical- but with the important aspects of the heart. My children call our little rescue Rehealth. Reheart. Rehome. <3
The shelters here euthanize so many, and I can't save them all in my tiny rental :(
Its nice to have those kinds of dreams, gives you something to work towards and is a shift towards ones own autonomy and not just conforming to the "fit the mold" scenario we are forced into through the societal construct.
what i am hoping to head towards is building a self sustaining property on some land out in the bush lands of the central coast of Australia and not have to pay for anything (well for the most part, the gov. always wants their pound of flesh). take in some unloved animals of all kinds, and we dont eat our friends so no eating the animals. lol.
Lol!! We don't eat our friends! I love that!!!
Yours is similar to mine :) I wish you luck!
You can visit mine if i can visit yours :) Even though i have no idea where you are, lol.
You are welcome anytime!!
I am currently in Seattle, West coast USA. :)
so not too far away... lol
Lol yea, just hours with wings ;)
