Good-hearted. Challenging its boundary.

The below opinions are solely based on my personal point of view, with reference to my own country. Opinions and comments are welcomed, flames are not however.


Humans,
A race whom they seperate themselves from the catogary of animals


Pets. Stray dogs. Stray cats.
But still, they're animals.

In our lifetime, majority of us would most probably had an experience with having a pet(s) at home. Remember when you saw a cute hamster somewhere and you pester your parents to get you one.

"That [animal] is so cute!! I want it!"

A familiar line to a majority of people out there. When they saw a pet that they want.


Lesson 1: "Kindness"

You got yourself a pet, and you promised that you'll feed it well, groom it well, and make sure it's healthy. Of course, it sounds good on the surface.

Now let's replace the [pet] with a human being. You get well-fed, nice house, tons of care showered on you. Still sounds pretty good huh.

But

You get locked up (restricted in a certain space) in one way or another.

Take a look at this perspective:
You get food hourly on time, you have a "cage of space". When you're injured, medics come and rescue you. There's always someone watching you, giving you tons of attention.

It does sounds like jail doesnt it ?

The silent agony of some pets I guess?

It is ironic. To restrict some living entity of its freedom, yet they're termed as "animal-lovers".


Lesson 2: Human - Visual animals

And yet again, at some moments human created languages that suggest that they're animals (literally) but yet they catogarized themselves as another. OK. Fullstop.

Ask yourselves this question:
How do you go about choosing pet?

Subconciously, humans will be making their choices from visuals.
Cute. That's the word.

Everybody wants a cute pet. For example, some breed of dogs are not that "good looking" as compared to other types.

Now I understand why bulldogs always looked so glumy and emo.

Animals with skin diesease, with superficial injuries that affects the appearance, with physical handicapped-ness - a broken leg and much more.

Do you see people taking a second look at these animals?
Do you see people offering them a nice home?

The answer is no. (ok, except for a small minority)

So now it turns out that good looking "things" are getting the good treatment in this society.

Now take a look from this perspective:
Humans are capturing and locking up animals which they deemed as cute and lovable, so that it works as a visual enjoyment, and to show others how kind they are to animals?

Something to think about that is.


Lesson 3: Insects

Another catogary of living species comes into the topic discussion.
It seems totally unjust, for animals actually get more "love" than insects. Or more bluntly, insects get none.

Killing cockroachs, something so common in our lives. We never knew how these buggy creatures appear in our rooms in the middle of the night, with their long feelers scaring the hell out of everyone.

90% of insects which entered a space where humans are in control, will most probably be dead, in an ugly manner. Squashed, crushed, whatever, as long as it sounds that disgusting.

Why humans can be so cruel to kill a living entity like insects, and when they see someone abusing a [CUTE] dog in the carpark, however, they would save the [CUTE] dog, followed by complaints and charges going towards the animal abuser.

Did humans even shed a tear when they're crushing insects?
Did they even try to, at least, means to escort the insect out of their house window, ALIVE, back to the "wild"?

No. They simply end up dying.

Regardless of which, they're still lives. But why the different treatment?

Humans, are they just purely visual animals?
Characters
Attitude
Personality
It makes no differences. Looks won the 1st prize.

END.


-----------------------------
Phew. Finally finished this. At some point or another, I guess I lost some points that I want to highlight in the topic. Sometimes things just flash through your mind, and yet seconds later, you'll forget what it is. Maybe when I have something to add on, then I'll update it~

I was actually going to do something about human philosophy this time round, but it involves subjects like gods, deities. So pretty sensitive I guess.

Thanks for reading =]
