The ability of detachment

We detach ourselves from things and/or beeings to protect ourselves.


We detach ourselves from abusive people that normally are a part of our social environment, to walk away, we detach ourselves from situations which might harm our mind and/or body.

Humans detach themselves from a lot of things and situations because it is the easy way  to go.

Humans detach themselves from the human who is attacked by thugs, raped/beaten/mugged because they fear they might otherwise get attacked also.
Humans detach themselves from news about famine, war and illnesses in other countries or social groups.


Without the ability of detachment humans could not be aghast of the sight of abused children, animals and in turn also ignore the signs of the same happenings in their own neighbourhood.

People love their dog, but they detach themselves from the dog abused in animal testing or killed for the fake fur on their clothing or accessoires.

People love their children but detach themselves from the children elsewhere, be it the neighbourhood or another country, or they could not buy child labour products or do stuff that impacts children elsewhere negatively.


People may love their spouse, but the next moment detach themselves from said spouse  when they can gain satisfaction this way, be it that they steal the last piece of cake and eat it themselves or betray their spouse sexually with someone else.


This is also why people can call themselves animal lovers of the platonic kind and still will be responsible for the suffering and abuse of animals.

Even worse the kind of non platonic animal lovers ..or people who love children in this sick and twisted way from which they gain sexual satisfaction, blind to the suffering they inflict.


Detachment can be a useful skill, or people would get insane with the ammount of things that are wrong with the world.

Detachment can help us to view a problem and find a solution, but unfortunately all to often we abuse our ability of detachment to ignore a situation or a problem until we are in deep sh*t.


Abusers are perfectionists in this ability, this is why it is so hard to make them see the error of their ways.
They hold on strongly on  their detachment.

If one can detach themselves from the pain of someone who is raped and can concentrate on the pleasure of the act, giving up the detachment would mean to recognize the fear and pain caused, to feel guilty, ashamed, what not...

People dislike giving up their detachment because it helps them to enjoy life while ignoring the things that are going wrong, which they are causing to go wrong.

People dislike it when others take away their fun, why would they choose to take away their fun by themselves when there are not really pressing matters  that make it impossible to hold up detachment?


For example feeling detached, not caring about people beeing discriminated until it happens to yourself..when you are on the wrong side, detachment is a negative thing for yourself.


Detachment is not negative per se, it depends on how you  handle it.
It might help you keep yourself healthy and on track, beeing able to solve problems without beeing burdened and dragged down by your emotions.

What is with people comparing human and animal rights?

So what?-Link

I tell you what is up with people comparing animal rights and human rights.

Humans are animals, you learn that in biology.

When we speak about human and animal rights we don´t mean that we want the right to vote for cows or equal job opportunities for bitches and human women.

Cows don´t care about votes, bitches don´t want to sit in an office and tip away on a computer.

This isn´t in the range of their abilites or mind.

What we mean, we all feel pain, we have feelings, we feel fear...we want a good life.

Clear so far?

When we compare human animals with non human animals we mean that both should have the right to be treated equally with respect, dignity and not to be abused just because someone sees them as inferior and dumb.

In biology we learn that cows, humans, dogs and other animals all have the same central nervous system and react with pain when you mistreat them, they will feel fear and get nervous disorders that are the same in dogs and cats and cows and horses as they are in humans.

Hit a dog and the dog will cower in fear because it doesn´t understand why the loved family member is bringing pain...same with a child, same with a grown human.
They will all feel pain and cower in fear.

They do not want to be mistreated.

This is meant when we compare human and non human animal rights.

The abused feminist who is feeling insulted by beeing compared to an abused non human female, is experiencing the same mindset as a sexist cis male does when compared to a woman.


The sexist male thinks that women are dumb and inferior and this is his reason for abusing them.
The homophobic human is thinking that non-hetero people are inferior and dangerous and this is his reason for abusing them.
The racist human is thinking that non-white people are inferior, dumb and dangerous and this is his or her reason for abusing them.
The speciest feminist thinks that non human females are inferior, dumb, dangerous or just way below them and therefor it is ok to abuse said females and their abuse matters less.
Therefor it is an insult when someone dares to say that when mistreated both suffer the same.

It is insulting to be compared to a human(non cis, non white, non male) you deem as inferior to yourself.

Same with feminists who feel insulted when someone dares to say that  abuse is wrong and humans, dogs, dolphins, parrots, chimps and cows suffer the same.

A speciest feminist thinks that only females they deem worthy have earned the right to be treated the same way they wish to be treated and feel insulted when you say that rape is rape.

A speciest feminist needs to degrade a non human female with the same attributes a cis sexist uses on said feminists, to have a reason why they only stand up for 'special', better females and not all females.

A speciest feminist uses the same degrading phrases and prejudices on others that have no means to defend themselves.

A speciest feminist feels degraded by beeing compared to a suffering animal because they have the prejudice that those animals are dumb, ugly, smelly and just plain inferior to them and beeing compared to them is an insult.

A sexist male feels insulted through female attributes put on him or when someone tells him that women are equal to men in their basic needs and deeds.

No one would say that women and men are totally the same, everyone is different, but in their basic needs...respect, love, feelings, the ability to feel pain and wanting to be treated well and be respected, we are the same.

No  one says that human and non human animals are totally the same. Cows have no interest or knowledge of voting. Humans don´t have four stomachs and live on grass. Chickens don´t want to drive a car and women don´t lay eggs and grow feathers and feel the need to take a dustbath and roost..

But no matter if you kick a woman or kick a dog, it hurts both in body and mind and is wrong.
A bitch and also a woman suffer the same when raped.

None of the two deserve to be kicked or raped, they are equal in their suffering and in their right to be protected from abuse.

As long as you degrade someone you deem less worthy, dumber and inferior, carry around the same prejudices as your abusers and deny 'the right of beeing save from abuse' to others, you will degrade yourself.

If you don´t think a woman, a homosexual, intersexual, disabled person or an animal is way below you, you can not be insulted with beeing called a woman, a homosexual, an intersexual, a disabled person or an animal.

It is really interesting how feminists can dig out the same prejudices against other beeings and act the same as cis, sexist men when you challenge their beliefs that abuse and abuse are not the same.

Human females and non human females are not the same, but they deserve equal basic rights.

If you think animal acitivists want the vote and schooling and equal job opportunities for cows, dogs and humans you either play dumb or you are dumb.
If you think a dog suffers less from a rape  than a human, you are either playing dumb, or you are dumb.


If you feel insulted by beeing called a woman, a child, a homosexual, a disabled or an animal, you carry the same mindset of prejudices with you and need to lose them.

Just food for thought...next time someone calls you a bitch, see it as an compliment and say so.Take power away from them by twisting their prejudiced insult into a compliment.

"Yes, thank you for seeing me as an intelligent, loyal and caring person. Bitches are really wonderfull animals and I thank you for thinking that I am such a wonderfull person"

Or the asian horoscope is also a way to take power away from abusers.
There are cows and chicken and pigs and apes and dogs.

"A cow? No, according to my horoscope I am a dragon/cat/whatever. But I thank you for thinking that I am a fiercely defensive, gorgeous person.I didn´t think that you knew about asian horoscopes, a pleasant surprise"

Or

"Wow, how did you know I am a cow in the asian horoscope? I didn´t realise my caring, strong headed nature is shining through so strongly"


Or just

"I see you try to insult me by calling me a dog/cow/whatever. In reality they are wonderful animals with many good attributes. But I guess you don´t have those and can therefor not recognize them. Luckily I am not you, I would feel really insulted than(beeing said person)."

And so on....if you feel insulted you give them power.
Just try it, if you play it off good, the look on their faces is just so satisfying. Sure there are always the  ones who react with violence, who don´t have the ability to think in a proper way.But with the less stupid ones you have a chance to shock their brain back into thinking-mode.


Oh...and stop your prejudices, or they will always have fuel to degrade you easily..
You already took a step against common prejudices  and degradation, how about taking the next step instead of just standing there halfway?

It is a hard time standing against the masses, but throwing around degrading speech about other lifeforms who are abused and mistreated and see them as  inferior(and as an insult to you) is only making it harder.
