In risking the possibility of sounding a little “off center”, I admit that my consciousness has been raised to the things going on in the world more so than when I was younger. As a young person, things never got to me the way they do now.
I get mental pictures of how people mistreat each other, how some suffer, and the suffering of animals. These things never occurred to me in the past. I just moved forward and did not dwell on it.
For instance even things that would not bother others bother me. I sometimes go online to find out how different foods are prepared. I ran across a youtube clip showing the preparation of octopus, which I never in my life ever prepared. In this video a man was demonstrating how to cook octopus. He had a small baby octopus, and he plunged it into a frying pan with either water or hot oil in it. As it squirmed, I freaked out.
There are other ways of cooking these things, like the bigger ones; they have to remove the beaks and other inedible parts, thus killing it before it is cooked. I guess you might say that any cruelty to any living thing just breaks my heart. If we lived in a sugar coated world and none of these things came to the fore, I probably wouldn’t care, because I wouldn’t know about them.
Some say I’m too sensitive and should toughen up.
Please pray for me.
