I was watching a news report about a dachshund that was doing press-ups during lockdown, the video does not matter but if anyone is interested here it is https://metro.c.....o=vjs-link
The TV presenter said that "our four legged friends" were wonderful and I immediately took offence at not reflecting the reality that many dogs and cats are tripawed. Now I was not seriously angry, but I did mention it to the wife who made the interesting observation that this must be how disabled people feel when they also face exclusionary language, so maybe "political correctness" has a point after all.
Now I am not used to thinking so it hurt my head a bit but I think that she has a point,
- "what shall be done for these innocents? I have been warned not even to raise the question of animal immortality, lest I find myself “in company with all the old maids”. I have no objection to the company" - C S Lewis (The Problem of Pain)
- "Mr Toplady was touched by the cruelty of the scene, and exclaimed, ' Who could bear to see that sight, if there were not to be some compensation for these poor suffering animals in a future state' 'I certainly hope,' said my grandfather, ' that all the bulls will go to heaven; but do you think this will be the case with all the animal creation' 'Yes, certainly,' replied Mr Toplady, with great emphasis, ' all, all!" - Josiah Bull (recording a meeting with the great A. M. Toplady, author of "Rock of Ages" in "Memorials of the Rev. William Bull of Newport, Pagnel")
- "Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten before God" Luke 12:6
That is such a great point! I always think of that too when I hear that phrase, as if all animals have four legs? Says who?!
This journey really teaches you so much. Thanks for sharing.
