Episode #60

[Diana]

Diana, I'm not spreading stories of fear regarding animals, this has happened to me, a chapter lasting years in my family. All these stories are part of the tapestry of life.

Different dog breeds are very interesting to me, their different temperaments. I wonder about these things... are they all descendants of wolves? So different in appearance and temperament?

If I tell you I've been chased by a lion, am I spreading stories of fear regarding animals?

PS. I like organic conversation, one thing leads to another. Let's stay spontaneous.

About the lion, it would depend on the context and how you felt about it.

Your post did not seem to me to be a canvassing the differences in dog breeds. It seemed very sad to me, and to be relating how vicious a dog can be. If humans did not breed and keep animals captive, that story would have never unfolded and people would not have gotten hurt. The gist of your story seemed to point the finger at that poor dog who was likely taken away and killed. I'm sure you were sad about it as a little girl which seemed to be implied. But if you reread your post, you may find a melodrama about a vicious dog who hurt humans. Maybe he just wanted to get the hell out of a situation he had no control over. Maybe he just wanted to roam free. Maybe he was confused and defensive trapped into a manmade situation. 

Whatever the circumstances, it seem as though the story was one that promoted separation and fear to me. So that's me being spontaneous and organic. I'm sorry, but you can't control me either, or make me be nice. I like your posts about liking honesty. I'm just being honest here, though that does not mean I am "right" or "better."
