Meet Ebony and Simon, they are brothers. Rescued with their mother, Amy, from under a row of bushes near a busy street. While Amy was a friendly cat, her kittens preferred to be left alone to play together. They were inseparable and frequently slept together like in the photo. We enjoyed their company for many years until Simon became gravely ill. He was asleep when he passed. Ebony was in another room with a closed door between them. The moment Simon passed Ebony let out an intense howl I’ve never heard come from a cat before. He knew his brother had passed. In a few years Ebony joined Simon in the spirit world. They are now together forever.
The purpose of this post is understanding cats, dogs, and other animals have the same emotions as us humans. They have feelings and love just as we do. Please treat them kindly.
While humans frequently rescue animals, animals can rescue humans as in the post labeled Deke.
Ebony and Simon’s Mother, Amy.

Walking into a well-known book store,
it was the first time I really saw,
the huge variety of books there,
I could only look at them in awe.
Usually went straight up to the shelf
that held all the books of my liking.
This day was different, a special
search for something stunningly striking.
I pondered the thousands of writers,
who wrote the thousands of books
whose thoughts were to me unknown
upon pages I could never look.
A wealth of history and knowledge,
in reach of anyone with cost.
Technical, stories of fiction,
how life’s fortunes are won and lost.
The wisdom of ages selling
for discounted prices, quite frail.
The sign on the front window said
“A going out of business sale.”

How many times have you heard this little verse.
“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never harm me.”
It is not true, words can be harmful, not only to the receiver, but also to the giver. There are few people so devoid of emotion that can’t be hurt by name calling. Most are hurt and express that hurt in anger at the one who insulted them.
Those with very little self-esteem routinely use name calling to hurt others. They don’t understand what they say to others reflects back on themselves. They lose trust, and people just quit listening to them. They also tend to be avoided socially.
Confronting them only increases the level of insults, and two wrongs don’t make a right. The best method is to treat them kindly with respect. In time, they will come to realize how they hurt themselves, and attempt to gain self-knowledge by growing spiritually.
