Thanks both of you !
Yes Matt – I think it is that I want him to think the same as me, as if he dosent, I somehow equate that with him being ”not quite right” or maybe that we are wrong for eachother if we differ in our opinions. And I guess something like that – killing of animals for ‘sport’ I get angered ! But you are right – just because he dosent have compassion for the hare, does not make him a daemon ! I think as well as compassion there is control and fear in there for sure – things I have to watch.
Yes Jade – really relate to that ! I guess it’s natural to have both some different, and some similar viewpoints. I have a best friend who actually dosent like animals !!! I said to her – ”so you dont like elephants” ? ” or tigers ” (to me they are amazing ) and she said ”no, I just dont ” ! But in that case I didnt try to persuade her to my opinion, I just kind of thought it was odd, and moved on, whereas I take it really personally when its my significant other !!
Thanks for the valubale feedback guys – Just want to say I think this is such a great place to bounce ideas and life’s questions around. It also really helps, so thank you very very much.
Namaste friends,
Barbs.
