Warning: animal cruelty: Re: What if it is hard to imagine yourself not believin

[Guest guest]

Great work Hanle,

Your posting has reminded me that Eckhart Tolle has talked about how

we project human emotions onto animals - we hear a noise and interpret

it as crying or they do something else and we interpret it as

aggression, etc.

When you wrote about looking into their eyes and seeing fear, then

begging, then resignation, I wonder if this is what 6 year old Hanle

was feeling, rather than the kittens, with those feelings being

projected onto the kittens?

I'm also just re-reading the subject line and struck by the warning of

animal cruelty - perhaps a warning of 'personal cruelty' could be

included alongside any of our stressful beliefs.

With thanks,

Jon
