Angela said: "Why is it that simple animals can show compassion towards each other and we humans cannot seem to grasp this Holy emotion?" Could it be because animals are incapable of sin? They are sinless. That picture, Angela, is very sweet. I love animals. God's Peace. |

Patty very noble answer! If I may offer a different opinion...... Animals are of the lower species of intellect and therefore they think partially on a primitve side. However animals contain certain traits that humans do not have which I believe animals to be more "spiritual sensitive" than humans. Humans are the most intleligent creatures yet can be the most ignorant. What unifies the mammal species is that we have in our own way, the capcity of compassion. I think because we humans learn to be selfish we tend to incline more towards ourselves than the common man. We must remember that the essence of God is in all life forms and sometimes it takes simple thing such as a picture of animals of different species interacting to understand the simplicity in life. Maybe the KKK as well as racist tribes in Sundan and abroad should look at pictures like these and ponder that even animals below the intellectual scale are capable of great things. |

I agree, Israfil. You are so right! And if I may tell a little "sappy" story here about my dog, Ridge....I have spells during the day when I think of my Dad's critical illness, and it makes me cry. I just walk around the house with tears pouring down my face. Not for long, perhaps five minutes. But during this time Ridge walks right beside me at every step I take. If I stop and stand still, Ridge leans his head against my knee and looks up at me with his big, brown eyes. When I'm over my "crying spell", he goes about his own business again. I KNOW he understands my sadness, and this is the only way he knows to show me he's sorry I'm unhappy. They do have a 6th sense which we don't possess. He always knows when my husband is nearing our home. (And my husband never comes home at the same time.) But he begins to pace, and then he stands and looks out the window. Within a minute or two, my husband will come tearing up the driveway in his truck! (He also does this if someone else is coming which we have no knowledge of. If he begins to pace and look out the window, we know someone will soon be driving up the driveway to our house.) God's Peace. |
