I kno tht things can be diffrent in diffrent forms of life, but i think
that its wellknown that animlas form bonds with each other, like some
birds, like swans i think, that are ment to mate for life, so that
looks like they are capabal of love, and loyualty to each other, but
they might not see it in a sentimenatal way like some humans do. But
dont some animals, like elephants, hav graveyards, or some sort of
sacred [to them] area , i think that rinoserases do too tho i could be
wrong about that, but ive deffinitley heard somthing liek that.
And then there was that blind fish that i was told about, where another
fish use to guide it around evrywhere, and then when the guiding fish
died, the blind fish was left v confused cos no other fish tried to
help it to see where it was going. i never saw it for myself but i was
told about it. I thought how sad it was.
I spose that you get 2 exstremes w how ppl think about things, you get
ppl who are realy daft and *too* sentimental, who think that animlas
all fall in love like how humans do, and that they all *love* there
babys cos of how htey look after them, [nevermind that birds will throw
babys out of the nest if they think that they are weak or dying] and i
dont kno if those animals realy love or not, but i think that dogs
deffinitley do, cos they get things like separation anxsiaty if they
are away from the ppl or other dogs who they love.
But at teh other exstreme , you get some humans who are so arogant that
they cant believe that any othre form of life is capabal of any
emotions that humans feel , cos they think that humans are so superiour
to all animals and they hav contempt for them. [An then you got ppl
like my GF of course who thinks that most animals [amd insects like
spiders and worms and things] are more inportant than most humans, and
ppl like my freind the artist who livs with rats in her house and has
them around her all the time and feeds them, and my Gf loves to go
there to see the rats running around, i wouldent want to hurt them or
nothing but i couldent cope w living w them all around me, i couldent
stand that, and shes not the only one like that either, but i think
that living w rats so close is taking love for animals too far, but
like i was saying, there are exstremes, and you get the other exstreme
of sombody who might see a rat a long way down the road from where they
liv, but will be so parranoid about it that they will start putting
poison down , and in a way, ppl like that are worse cos they are so
stupid and hysterrickal, so whos to say who is right when there are
exstremes of thinking like that?
Anyway its 3 in the morning now so im going home to bed! It starts
getting light early at this time of yr, and i want to get into bed
while its still dark if i can. Nitey nite.
V.
PS actualy its gone that now, but im trying to get away from here
earlier than wot i hav been doing, it makes me get up so late in the
day when i dont get to bed until the morning.
