No animal calls a tick ‘evil’. Beasts who talk like that are soon called 'human'.
Explore the truth of ‘humanity’… you'll find its more of a transient perception than anything else.
Although furry beasts may roll around in mud, scratching to get creatures from clinging; they leave anger, frustration, fear, and the desire to eliminate all parasites from the face of the earth for humans to fret over.
Thoughts for when you’re out on the plains…
If there’s a tick on you, take your time and calmly remove it. You’ll find that the pace prevents pre-programmed trigger emotions from blossoming – immediately bringing an entirely different perspective. The next time you’re sick or have an injury, focus only on the positives.
Huh?!
You can enjoy the situation by picking one of your mind or body sensations and placing your attention on it. Through this you’ll notice discomfort wane and wax. The more you exercise this focus, the more you’ll gain body knowledge that pain and discomfort always comes and goes – providing you partial emancipation from life’s inconveniences at your command. You can practice turning pain into a ‘fill in the color’ sensation, and sometimes even populate it with pleasure. You can find solace in not doing anything, just resting. This is also an opportunity to examine how you’ve been conditioned to play the role of ‘sick’ or ‘injured’. Through this you’ll discover that most experience is due to your upbringing, culture, and language; and quite malleable when you’re aware and willing to re-write the script according to your will.
Afterthoughts about ‘humans’ and ‘animals’…
The term ‘human’ is a reflective and circular term that stems from ego. It’s an indicator that the observer has either invented separation where there is none, or hasn’t questioned the ‘compartment’ that another Will has suggested. The word ‘animal’ is used for terms of convenience, and also exaggerated in form to create a language barrier that accentuates the ego. For humans calling something an ‘animal’, and believing it’s anything more than a convenient description shows your choice in how you want to navigate the safari playground, OR, I suppose if you’re an ostrich, a method to stick your head into the safari playground sand.
