RE: Bald beginnt der Ernst des Lebens
Ah, letting go... the eternal dilemma.
Whenever I read your posts about the sheep, I find myself stepping into your shoes — trying to truly understand your reality. I think to myself, “So many sheep are slaughtered every day, so why is Chriddi so concerned about just a few of hers?” But of course, these are two completely different realities…
One of the four stray kittens met with an accident — while I was away on holiday. I had a solid five-minute cry in the washroom. More than sad, I’m angry. Really, really angry. It wasn’t anyone’s fault in particular, but still… a few people might have prevented it. And yes, they got an earful from me.
Gosh… these animals. It's not easy to love them and let them go simultaneously...
In fact - a topic for which I left a lot of money at the psychologist... 😉
I try to whisper that to myself again and again. I'm not even a vegetarian...
And whoever would eat my animals would be happy, because it would be a flawless food. There would be a guarantee that the sheep had a very good life, that neither poisons nor hormones or anything else used in industrial food production had contaminated their bodies (their meat). Love certainly tastes pretty good too...
The ‘problem’ is the emotional attachment. Every single animal has its own character, every single animal I like to care for and cuddle lovingly. Yes, I love every single sheep of the 26 (even the ones that have already given me bruises).
Maybe I should convert to Islam? Sheep like mine are definitely the ones God envisioned as sacrifices. Not the ones that are bought for the feast. No, the ones you really love - that when you sacrifice them, you are actually giving away what you hold most dear....

You know what? I've been reading and rereading this... The way you've explained this concept so beautifully—it honestly gave me goosebumps. You're such a learned person. I'm still in awe. To grasp such fine nuances... I didn’t even know how to respond. But I think you know what I’m trying to say.
I have made a silent prayer in my heart ❤️
