 Something is coming forward about all this for me now!!! Looking at what has happened back east, i feel the suffering about it to the same degree as i do any catastrophy anywhere in the world. it is not special to me. war and natural catastrophy is always killing people and other animals. In fact i dont even single out humans to mourn more than any other animal. I am always, when i turn on the TV going into mourning. its a way of life for me. this latest tragedy doesnt stand out for me as different. thats also part of whats going on for me.Huge part. I have never been partriotic in the slightest. I am also almost completely un speciest. that i kill coakroaches is the only sign i draw a line. except that i used to hold the human being separate and lower than other animals. Now i have joined them in my awknowledged sin, because i eat dairy. I just broke down and cryed. feels good. Cryed from relief of understanding why i am not crying in particular about what happened in the US. I so long ago realized that wars are always going on somewhere. people killing each other. this insanity. I have never cared about the details. which countries, how many deaths, over what. what happened here tuesday doesnt stand out as different to me. i guess i have a very global view i always hold, and have most of my life. This event in the USA is different in that it threatens me and those i love more than if it was far away. but this is the only difference to me. and in fact, this still doesnt hold extreme importance. because i have never understood when people say: WHY ME? I have a terrible uncurable disease for instance. and for years the symptons were horrid. and i never felt especially bad about it. Why not me? there is diseases. Some living things have one. I just went and told my husband all this. he feels the same way. we are both following the tragedy back east. both of us are not angry, or especially emotional about it. I has impacted my body and it seems I am doing some processing of it. But what about all the pigs stacked up in cages one upon the other day after day after day after day. they are as smart as dogs. they are LIVE stock. This torture is not an incident in N.Y. this torture is not considered a tragedy. not even the dignity of being considered a tragedy is given to these pigs. lets turn the TV channel over to the factory farm now please. Lets cry some for them please!!!!!! WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! there is no difference in the felt SUFFERING!!!!!!!!!!! AND, no one has to do this to pigs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!they have done nothing WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Can you get how i feel.
