Thoughts on Buddhism

[Abracadabra]

Your love for your cat is not the same as your love for a human being-um, unless you're weirder than even I think. Nice try, but no cigar.

Actually my love for human beings should be more like my love for my cat if it's truly love. I should love them all without expecting anything in return.

Actually I think I do.

I don't even hate criminals and highly violent people. On the contrary, I think of them as being mentally ill or dysfunctional. It's an illness. Why should I hate someone for being ill?

If my cat came down with rabies or distemper, I'd have it put to sleep, not because I stopped loving it, but simply because it's the most humane thing to do. Put the cat out of it's misery and simultaneously protect innocent people from being harmed by the cat.

Personally that's how I would view extremely criminal humans as well.

So my love for humans should be more like my love for my cat actually. And in truth I think it is. Although I do enjoy petting my cat on occasion. I don't necessarily have a desire to pet all humans. Maybe some of the finer females. But that's a whole different topic there.
