BIRDS/AHIMSA

I tried my best to practice ahimsa before I was aware of this word/concept

Impossible in a culture that believes only humans have a soul and only money matters

I Have fed the local birds ever since I moved here

Mindless automatons tell me

“Do not to feed the birds -they are meant  to find their own food”

It doesn’t occur to them that the human plague  (of 8 Billion) has destroyed the homes and food sources of all other life – making so many extinct.

I feed the crows too –one neighbour has complained about their noise

The other has told me that she likes the Ibis (that I feed) but not the crow.

Crows like many other life forms are disliked because of cultural programming

The crow I feed, feeds the baby before she? feeds  herself

I wasn’t able to take a photo because the baby flies away when I walk outside – comes back when I go in.

Humans have this effect on me — have said I am anthrophobic for decades – don’t think it is an actual word)

I have always been a misfit in a culture –

Where sociopaths are successful

Psychopaths glorified

And it is necessary to be a mindless automaton to fit in.

Considering all the positive changes in my life time I am optimistic that

the caring, intelligent people will prevail and stop all life from becoming extinct.

Enjoy your day
