Animals Receive More Compassion Than Most Humans Do?
How can this be?
Is this true?
When we think of our beloved animals who end up in a terrible situation what do we do when we realize that there is no medical options for saving them?
When there is a tragedy on the military field, and it is determined that a wounded warrior will not survive, what do they do? Do they wait till they die naturally or provide relief from suffering by helping them pass painlessly?
In civilian life, when one of our loved ones get into a situation that there is medically no coming out of, we offer pallaitive care or hospice. Hospice generally gets paid upfront and is there to administer enough drugs to help the patient be comfortable until they pass away.
With civilians we do not treat our loved ones or us the same as we do our beloved animals or as the military treats each other in the battlefield. Our animals are offered relief by being put down and ‘saved’ from their suffering and the same goes for those in the battlefield who are given a strong enough dose of morphine to help a loved one suffering feel relief while transitioning quickly and painlessly.
This kind of compassion is not transferred or offered to civilians and in most cases ive come across the practice is demonized.
Have you ever known someone who said that they were ready to go and suffered for quite some time because no one would help them find the relief that they have been asking for?
At the same time of saying that we are ready to go it is not easy to take our own life nor is it easy to take the life of a loved one. And at such a time terming the action “taking a life “may not even be accurate. When we are talking about our animals & when we are talking about military comrades, it is called compassion to relieve suffering.
Of course, it is always going to vary on an individual basis, And for that reason there is likely only a right answer within each and everyone of us, or or simply perhaps within the person or life form needing our compassion. This coming from someone who has always professed that with each breath there is opportunity for life. I’ve been very adamant about this and have gotten very upset in the past when people give up on life. Being in the position where my 12-year-old dog is Basically suffering from bone cancer and my 90-year-old grandmother is suffering from a number of things I question whether or not we treat our loved ones as well as our animals and I am also of course questioning whether or not providing relief for my dog is the right thing, when it would be the right thing, and if it is the right thing.. why are we letting my grandmother suffer as wel?
We are truly blessed to be alive
Life is a beautiful yin yang
right thing why are we letting my grandmother suffer as well.
What a beautiful experience to be alive
