[split] "Some people eat animals, some don't."

[Monica]

In essence, I believe I have not misunderstood.

Your words indicated that you misunderstood my analogy, in regards to who was being compared to whom. That's what I was referring to.

I love your passion Monica but animals simply cannot relate to 3rd density suffering. From our human perspective, this is a golden era of expression. 

Are you sure? Watch this and then tell me that. Look into their eyes.

There are many types of suffering. Of course they can't relate to the types of emotional and psychological suffering such as the anguish of watching a loved one battle cancer, or the pain of being dumped by a lover, or teenage angst, or the spiritual angst of the troubled soul, or myriad other types of suffering humans endure.

But I never said they did. What I said was that they DO feel pain and fear every bit as much as humans do. They have nervous systems and pain receptors. They have complex emotions and most definitely feel fear, even terror. They feel anxiety and grief, just like humans. They also form social bonds, close-knit friendships, and some have even demonstrated compassion. Yes, compassion for others! Something that some humans haven't even accomplished yet.

So what if they don't yet understand the anguish of divorce or financial ruin or cancer? How is that relevant to the question of: Do they suffer?

They do indeed suffer, and that is all that matters. It matters because it is humans who are the direct cause of their suffering.
