People who are super fond of critters and definitely kind at heart.
This is only half right, people who like small animals, for their pet small animals are certainly benevolent, but for pet food chain animals, it is not unkind and charitable.
The author has witnessed a player raising kestrels in the Guigang Flower and Bird Market, who loves his kestrels incomparably, teasing and watching every day, and the kestrels want to eat meat, so this "benevolent brother" bought a large number of live sparrows and threw them to the kestrels to bite.
Cats will eat fish, dogs will gnaw on bones, covet some kind of small animal, and must sacrifice the lives of other animals to provide for their pets.
Some people are too obsessed with small animals, and they are not necessarily kind to people.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the eighteenth monarch of the Wei Dynasty, Wei Yigong, loved to raise cranes, and to the point of being demented, he built various crane gardens in a violent manner. Wei Yigong traveled, the pet crane had to accompany the tour in a luxury car, Wei Yigong also gave the crane official position and Feng Lu, the people did not continue, and there were not enough wild vegetables to eat.
There is a saying in the Tao Te Ching: "The heavens and the earth are not kind, and all things are dogs."
To understand this sentence from the point of view of man's private love, it is necessary to curse the heavens for being insensitive and have created lovely cats and dogs, so why create poisonous snakes and beasts, and grow all things in the spring, and then kill them all in the winter.
Look at those who are obsessed with certain animals, and understand why heaven and earth are "unkind."
If heaven and earth, like us humans, are flooded with "benevolence" and favor certain animals, then other animals and plants on earth will suffer.
The egrets soaring on the banks of the Nanming River are graceful and colorful, dancing, tourists rushing to take pictures, all hoping that the sky is full of egrets, but the heavens and the earth can not let the egrets give birth too much.
Egrets are predatory birds of prey, and an egret can easily exterminate the fish, shrimp, crabs and frogs in a pond of 1,000 square meters.
Similarly, furry kittens are loved by everyone, and as long as there are four or five cats in the community, the whole community will not see any trace of birds.
Cute pet dogs, the most let the owner pity, if the household has a dog, everyone does not leash the dog, the community will not be able to live.
What is true kindness? It is explained very clearly in the Analects that only Those who are generous can be counted as benevolent.
However, even Confucius lamented that bo shi helped the people, was impartial, and took into account both public and private interests, making the world balanced, and even Yao Shun was difficult to achieve.
Those of us ordinary people can't let go of love, hate, hate, and love some kind of small animal, which is beyond reproach.
It is precious not to profess to be kind in one's own private love and not to despise creatures other than pets.
