Relationships are about give and take. If we can't work that out, as humans, we might as well kill ourselves, in order to get out of the way of the people who understand this.
Relationships are so complicated; none of us of any species can ever really understand all of that. We can understand some, a little, locally.
Because we are not God. God may or may not exist, but if God does exist, then God is my enemy, to the extent that God is about gratuitous mean-spirited control. Job, anyone?
Now, back to relationships. We are human animals, we have relationships with animals of other evolutionary groups, and also with plants.
Well, that's great!
You'd think.
Except we keep killing these plant and animal people.
We have been poisoned.
There are still people (including humans) around, saying "Wait! No! Please don't! Please don't kill our friends!"
Please don't murder not only me personally, but also please don't murder my whole extended family, with all of its species.
Please don't murder all of the ways of living that we have worked out over all of these hundreds and even thousands of years.
Please, please, can you listen? Can you hear us?
Please stop the murder.
&&&
Of course, that generally doesn't work.
Stop the murder. They don't get it; they are too damaged.
Live and death are intertwined. Murder is a whole nother piece of wax.
Just sayin'
