You are equating your own worth to that of your animals, based on a role they've instinctly assigned to you.
Forgive me, but I'd appreciate if you'd spare me any further explanations and attempts at justifications.
- boohoofoodoo 12y agoYour grandiose sense of self-worth has retarded your capacity for understanding to such a degree that it compels you to criticise someone else's decision to sacrifice themselves for other beings they love, yes, even non human ones. Have you ever loved? But yes, I forgive you.
- paxcoder 12y agoYour unjust accusation of egotism still presupposes equal worth of humans and pets. This is wrong, regardless of your emotional attachment to yours. From a purely economical point of view, you may claim that things have only the value you ascribe to them. But I believe in intrinsic, objective worth. One man's teddy bear is another's broken toy. A person's life, however, is non-negotiable.
