[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 659230, member: 1550"] Wow. We are a lot alike. I won't eat lobster because of how they are killed and find it sickening to SHOW the lobsters when they are going to be boiled alive. Makes my skin crawl that anyone could do that. Also, when my hubby caught a bat in our house I begged him to let it go, not kill it, so he did. I was not always this way. As a child me and sibs used to watch ants drown in the toilet. I am sickened by that now, even though they are ants. Sick, si ck, sick. So glad I have changed so much t hat the girl who watched the ants flail to stop from drowning actually makes me sick. My mother was not a part of the ant bit. My dad used to do it. So I thought it was ok. He would throw them in and laugh. It is SO not okay. As I become more and more Buddhist/New Age, I wonder why we kill living things with no remorse. And I wonder how this sits with my karma. I am not getting more hardhearted as I age. Thank my HIgher Power!!!! I am getting kinder to myself, but one of the things I cherish the most about me is my good heart and I am trying hard to care for living beings even more than I used to when I stuffed $10 in beggar's buckets and mailed my coat to a woman in the Chicago Tribune who the reporter claimed had no coat. In fact I sent her two coats. This is one thing about me that I self-talk about because I know I've done good things in my time. To strangers. To animals. Now even thinking about the pain of insects. Cedar, we need to value our good hearts more. Nobody can take them away from us and, unless we listen to their nonsense, we don't have to hear about how we don't have good hearts. This is one thing I always knew I had and E. couldn't remove my knowledge of this from me. It is an intristic part of who I am. Cedar, do you know who YOU are? Copa? Anyone else? I did not know the real me and could not recite anything about me until I h it my late 40's and it become a more clear picture as I hit 50. I was so fragmented before that, as everyone with trauma issues is. It took so long for me to get to know me. Do you all feel the same way? [/QUOTE]
