Humanity should respect animals.

[Monica]

They usually say that animals are easier to feel compassion for, because they're innocent; whereas, humans can be so cruel.

Who is "they"?

The people who love animals but hate other people...or have compassion for animals but are unable to feel compassion for other people. You know: the ones commonly referred to as zealots!

Which brings up a curious point: Why are they considered zealots? Precisely because they are able to feel compassion for animals but not other humans, and humans find that unacceptable! Because the majority of humans consider humans to be more important than animals, and cannot conceive of someone caring more about animals than other humans!

You could be right about that. But in which case, it is no longer that perplexing why some wanderers might not feel compassion for animals as deeply as others. They might just be uncommon examples.

It's not as perplexing to me as it used to be. Still perplexing, just not as perplexing.

Yes, that was my read as well. But to think those two wanderers could have fooled themselves into thinking imposing their beliefs onto others could be good for their spiritual growth... you are right that sounds like some pretty heavy forgetting! Luckily, it sounds like that sort of thing isn't too common.

Yeah let's hope not! shudder I feel compassionate for those poor schmucks!

Really? See that is funny, because those are two insects that I feel compassion for. Roaches get a bad rap! Recently, while we were in Costa Rica, a big momma roach got accidentally caught in our fridge... she barely survived the ordeal! I figured she had a rough enough time already, so I flung her out into the grass and wished her well.

Ants are tougher to handle because it can be near impossible to get them out of the house without killing them. Especially the tiny ones!

Yeah, and not only that, but the little fuckers are so aggressive! I'll be out in my garden minding my own business and they just start biting for no reason! A few days ago I suddenly realized I had ants all up my legs and about 20 bites! How rude!

How do you handle the roaches now?

Now there's an interesting conundrum. If somebody had a business built around analyzing other people's polarity, would they bear some risk of depolarizing themselves in the process? What if they started offering to do "readings" for third-parties who wanted to know the polarization level of others?! Yeesh- sounds like some icky spiritual considerations there!

I sure wouldn't want that responsibility, even if I knew how (which I don't)!
