Maryanne
I was feared too. I was feared because of expectations I did not know the cause of. I wasn't hunted but I know it is a shit feeling.
She did what? Why would she do that? Did she not think about the consequences? Imagine it would have worked, imagine your husbands would have found out or instead of going after you, he would have gone after them straight away. Had she never had this family?
I do not think it has to be an instead. It all depends on your point of view. Who you are and what you might mean to that person or creature and what you want to mean to that. Think about all the animals you kill. They have children, they look after them. My wolves, I cannot see into their heads, but I think they can care deeply. But if you are a rabbit or even a child at the wrong moment, they will tear you apart eventually.
You mean a supernatural sense? All the animals I've met work on fear. Their instincts, it's fear. It's why humans have it. And you did not reveal much common sense to me, Maryanne. You compared yourself to every person my father has met and made an absolute judgement. If that is how you think, then you do not have a lot of common sense.
And you pissed me off. You threw insults at my head and I told my father which on the other hand pissed him off. I take no pride in being feared, even though you think the opposite. But I know that when I'm angry, my emotions run away with me. A bit more caution on your side would have been a good thing.
I should not have mistaken you for having a human mind. I apologise for that. You seem to work on different levels than humans and other terrestrial animals do. I am still learning to keep my mind open, it does not always work.
