my roommates keep bullying my cat by calling his name repeatedly to get his attention and then going “bababooie” every time he looks at them

Fear responses are not a choice.

They are part of the autonomic nervous system, which is not voluntary. They are the nervous system reconditioning itself in response to trauma for the purpose of survival. There's nothing weak about it. It's your body showing its ability to adapt to its environment and survive, which we know as survival of the fittest. Those who've actually read Darwin know that fittest doesn't mean strongest, but most adaptable. So not only does your fear response not mean you're weak, it means you are fit af.

“If you can sit down quietly and listen compassionately to that person for one hour, you can relieve a lot of his suffering. Listen with only one purpose: to allow the other person to express himself and find relief from his suffering. Keep compassion alive during the whole time of listening. You have to be very concentrated while you listen. You have to focus on the practice of listening with all your attention, your whole being: your eyes, ears, body, and your mind. If you just pretend to listen, and do not listen with one hundred percent of yourself, the other person will know it and will not find relief from his suffering. If you know how to practice mindful breathing and can stay focused on the desire to help him find relief, then you will be able to sustain your compassion while listening.”

— Thich Nhat Hanh

All I’m saying is there’s 7.6 billions of us and only one God. We could take him out if we want to.

so, i live on  the fourth floor of an apartment building that faces a fairly busy street; it’s on a hill so car noises are pretty regular over the course of the day. because i’m high above the street, you obviously can’t see the cars unless you look out the window, right? but sometimes the sun reflects off the car roofs or whatever, and so there’ll be a light on my ceiling as a car passes by.

so my cat? whenever he hears a loud engine, day or night, he looks at my ceiling. even if there is no refraction going on. to him, those are the sounds of light on the ceiling. sometimes the light appears and there is a loud noise. it’s 8pm and a truck just passed and he watched the ceiling as the car moved past my windows – no reflection this time of night, but trucks are ceiling creatures and i just think that’s such a like – it’s a good correlation, buddy!! you figured it out!! you’re wrong but you’re so smart!!
