Can you expand on seeing the world differently. I like observing nature and i am feeding the birds at the moment. I like listening to them singing when I arrive, that could be a positive that they are happy or here comes that human that's pruned our house!View attachment 103790Fully enrolled and inducted into my 3rd year of uni, I start next week and it sounds like a really interesting year. Cannot wait despite everything and I know how lucky I am to be able to do this. I do still think I see the world a little differently from most but I can't wait to see where things go from here.
Not really Trewsers, bit worried but hey ho, more tests coming my way, hopefully they will be clear. Thank you for asking though x@Kite_Rider did the phone call go okay that you were a bit bothered about? (I hope I've not missed a reply on here).
Fingers crossed for good news!Not really Trewsers, bit worried but hey ho, more tests coming my way, hopefully they will be clear. Thank you for asking though x

I like the connection I have with the cob, the fact she comes cantering over again after being turned out, because I haven't gone yet. ( lots of weeding to do)

I just got a dinner plate and filled it with whatever took my fancy.
Think wenlesdale cheese too mild for me.
That's a super quote. I was sitting last week, watching the horses in the field, and remembered that, somewhere in Christianity, it's said that animals don't have souls. I couldn't say if I'm a proper Christian or not, but that thought riled me. Feel free to correct me, if I'm wrong in thinking that's a belief that I've read somewhere, but that quote, about the bird having a life, knowledge, individual traits and personality, is exactly what I felt as I watched the horses. They're not dumb beasts of the field, they experience joy, sadness, anger, peace - who are we to pigeonhole them as lesser being than us?View attachment 103790Fully enrolled and inducted into my 3rd year of uni, I start next week and it sounds like a really interesting year.

If it is in Christianity then it comes from Judaism. That the souls of animals differ from those of humans. Or rather that people have two souls. A soul that yearns for God and an animal soul - Basically that means no life after death for animals. And in Christianity they cannot make the choice to believe in the Trinity.somewhere in Christianity, it's said that animals don't have souls.

What brought it to mind, was remembering at some point I must have been told this as a child, and being enraged at the idea. I punted around Google and this was the first thing that came up.....View attachment 103797
If that is what it means to be religious I’m very glad I’m not. Most of the time I prefer animals to if there's a heaven, most animals deserve to go there a lot more tha
I absolutely agree! If there is a heaven, most animals deserve to go there far more than most humans. Along the same kind of lines, I saw online, a sign in the US that reads "God loves a kind atheist more than a hateful Christian" I rather liked that.I think we should be equal. Without animals we are screwed!
You need everything in the food chain. Insects doing their thing for the flowers and plants at the bottom, are just as important as we seem to think we see at the top. They don't discuss it, they just get on with life- as far as I know.
Actually we are probably lower than animals, we hurt people fir no reason, we kill for no reason. Animals do it, if they do to correct another animal, or to eat.
