Thank you Starlight. And oh my I am choking up here. This is it exactly. These dear innocent animals... What do they ask of the world? Nothing. We could spend lifetimes learning such humility.I consciously and with intent created a life for myself where those types of people no longer exist in my sphere. That is how I dealt with that. I am also conscious of what I talk about when having conversations with others. I do not push my beliefs, I don't even talk about them. I ask people about themselves, that always keeps the conversation away from me and my beliefs. Nobody needs to know. It's been years since I had an encounter with people in the way you describe. Like I said, that's precisely what I set out to accomplish years ago: to eliminate people like that from my life. And it worked, and I'm happy and content.

And your "tree hugger" comment made me smile, fond memories of my youth! I lived in both the far North and the Pacific-Northwest, and was actually called that once by someone. And another drunken someone in a trucker pub called me "girly" (my long hair and headband). My response to things like that? I stopped going to pubs, haven't been in one in over two decades. Those people no longer exist in my sphere, see how that works?

Getting to the heart of the matter.
 

Beautiful,inspiring and informative words.

And when we return to the spirit world and look back it will become as clear as day how badly we have treated are beautiful planet earth and the wonderful animal life and nature around us .:icon_sunny:

Live and let live.
 

I am very much with every thing you say really, I do feel like an old soul and feel I should use my voice.
Yes I feel the media have a lot to answer for, I speak on BBC Radio London late night show I have spoken about spiritual and other stuff they seem o k but mostly the media is just bore'ring news about those in control. :biggrin:

Thanks for the reply Baile, It is hard for me to not be around people who think along other lines as I work with a lot of them. I am an easy target though :smile: as I am quite opinionated if someone starts a discussion there that I dont agree with. I do not push my views if it is not mentioned but as soon as someone talks about cruelty I will give a few home truths...to me criticism is in balance along with praise. It is a duty to address wrong doing. Who else if not people like us will speak for those who have no voice.
It does not really bother me if people see me as a tree hugging hippy or anything else...I have a deep affinity with nature and animals....I like to get my senses in the elements, admiring all the colours in the trees....

I just wondered how other people got along in life. Thank you for sharing. Its nice to see there are good people still around in this world. :smile:

You are probably an old soul yes..and you should use your voice...you speak for those who have no voice..anyone who thinks deeply with empathy and compassion has 'been and seen', in my humble opinion. :smile:

What frequency is the radio station you speak on? It would be interesting to listen too. :smile:

Its 94.9 fm :smile:

Just for the sake of conversation, FWIW many animals eat other animals. Where is the indignation about THAT?

And why do we persist thinking animals are comparitively 'pure' creatures when they are just as likely to kill each other and/or us as we are them?

Why are humans singled out as evil in this, and the animals get a pass?

We as the human race are meant to have evolved from second density to third density. Even so sometimes I doubt that.

In second density to follow your instincts, in third density you are meant to become self-aware, eventually let spirit do the driving, and evolve to 4th and 5th density.

To say it in a very simplified way.

No one on this thread has said that people who eat meat are evil.

We are having a very sensitive discussion and using words like evil does not help.

My heart wisdom tells me its o k for animals to do what they do. :D
