The World Is Full Of Pain
~This comment exchange came from my post about the dying dog.
onyxsnakeeyes "You useless pig. If the animal was suffering and slowly dying, why would you not dispatch it? This would have been a kindness. I guess we're all suppose to feel sorry for your ridiculous impotent pain. Stupid white man."
Moi: "If I had the wherewithal, I probably would have. I certainly thought about it.
But I could not shoot it as discharging firearms in town limits is highly illegal.
I thought of cutting its throat, but I am too old, most certainly not skilled enough and that too would likely be illegal as 'animal cruelty'.
I even thought of smashing its skull with a hammer. But again, 'animal cruelty', and in truth, I had no real idea as to the extent of its injuries. Do I kill an animal with a treatable injury? And what if it attacked me?
I did what little I could within the constraints the Social Order within which I must live. [Yes, it's a White Man's World, but you already know that quite well if you are what you claim to be, Gypsy Girl.]
But more than anything I first have to protect 'my own'; my Companion and our cats. I was not going to legally or physically jeopardize myself for this unknown creature at the possible risk to my own ability to protect our household.
'Being a man' is Knowing Yourself and that means accepting your limits no matter how painful that might be. Call me what you wish. But to do have other than what I did would be to engage in useless bravado for the sake of an ephemeral version of masculinity.
And that's the name of that fucking tune, buttercup."
She replied: "Who is this "buttercup?" You stupid gadjos are all the same.
I'm sure the suffering animal did not care if you thought about dispatching it or not, now doubt it wanted someone, anyone, to help deliver it to the next world and stop it's suffering.
Who fucking cares about illegal? Gunshots go off all the time. Even though cops are stupid, I doubt they would've begrudged you putting an animal out of it's misery.
Or, you could have called 911 and asked the cops to do it themselves. Screw social order, I thought you reckon yourself a rebel. A rebel would have done what needed to be done to save a child of the mother prolonged agony.
You had many choices and yet you choose to call me "Gypsy?" I am not a "nigger" or a "whore" - that is what the word "gypsy" means to my people. I am not merely a girl, I am a mother.
I don't care about your own, you are a hypocrite, just another white man pretending to care about women. Men like you are the enemy, you have no humility and you will not listen.
The simple fact that when I call you out, you refuse to listen instead, instead lashing out trying to defend your ego, proves you are deaf to the call of the great mother.
My friends were wrong, you are not a good man."
Moi: "As I said, what I did and did not do was what I could do. I cannot help it if such was insufficient for you. Life is full of pain. If hating me helps with your pain, then that is how I have Served you.

PS Hating your White Sisters is hating your Self."
My initial response was to someone I thought a troll, hence the 'Gypsy Girl' sneer, which I did know beforehand was an insult. But her second comment literally bleeds with pain...and there is nothing I can do about that beyond saying what I said.
