100 Ways to Lose Weight 

I love animals more than people - is it bad? Why do people love animals so much? About man and animals

It may seem that the desire to be the owner of "designer" dogs, unique breeds cats, dwarf pigs or other pets are just a fad that's spreading according to Western fashion.

In Great Britain, every tenth animal in the house local residents is the dog. Pets require care and some investment, which does not contribute to increasing the material well-being of the owner himself. However, statistics showed that during the 2008 crisis, spending on pets remained unchanged. People continued to provide for their favorites, perhaps in some way infringing on their material interests. This suggests that for most pets are not a luxury, but an integral part of the family.

Centuries of communication

The human desire for the company of animals is rooted in the depths of the centuries, which played important role in our evolution.

V last years a lot of attention is paid to the benefits of pets. It is believed that a cat or dog in a home helps its owners in several ways. This and risk reduction cardiovascular disease, and fighting loneliness, as well as relieving symptoms of depression and even dementia. However, there are opponents of these beliefs who insist that animals can cause, albeit insignificant, harm to human health, moreover, their life expectancy is much shorter than that of humans. The most grounded are arguments about the root cause of communication with animals. Care about own health, fighting depression, stress and loneliness could not be the reason for the domestication of animals many centuries ago.

Doesn't apply to everyone

However, the desire to bring an animal into the house is not a universal feature of human nature. Not everyone is so anxious about our smaller brothers that they are ready to accept them into their family. Even in the West, many have no love for animals, whether they are domesticated or not. So what does such an attitude depend on?

One could attribute the love for our brothers to our lesser ones who brought homeless babies home in childhood. The same could be inherited and their children. People have favorites because they lived in their house as a child. a pet... However, research shows that there is a genetic basis in relation to animals. Some are predisposed to the company of animals, others are not. And it doesn't depend on their upbringing.

Not all people have genes that push a person to communicate with pets and take care of them. In the distant past, such genes helped the prosperity of society and individuals. This evoked an instinctive rapport with the animals.

In the process of evolution

According to DNA data from today's domestic animals, they were separated from their wild counterparts 5,000-15,000 years ago. Breeding of livestock also contributed to this. It is difficult to understand, however, when cats and dogs were categorized as pets. After all, many factors interfered with the domestication of animals. This is also the impossibility of preventing unwanted crossing of domestic and wild breeds, because the animals had free access to each other. They slowed down domestication and periods of famine, when people had to use all livestock for food, and then tame new individuals.

And only thanks to the complete isolation of domestic animals, it was possible to breed breeds that no longer interbreed with wild ones. We know most of these breeds now.

The influence of genes

Not everyone can love animals. The genes that are responsible for this attachment may have spread even among the first farmers. Such people developed animal husbandry and prospered compared to those who continued to hunt for meat. Why does not everyone experience warm feelings to animals? Probably, alternative strategies of behavior at that time were also viable.

There is one more thing that has become known thanks to recent research. Attachment to pets is closely related to caring for everything. natural world... That is, people can be divided into two categories:

  1. Those who are concerned environment and feels unity with nature, affection for animals.
  2. Those who enjoy the blessings modern technologies without thinking about the surrounding natural world.

It turns out that pets are able to revive our connection with nature, which we have increasingly ignored.


Every owner wants his pet to be healthy and happy, so it must be protected. If you don't believe in the evil eye, then it might just be worth it to play it safe. Especially when the animal is still growing and developing.
If your pet gets sick, has any anxiety, or refuses to eat, make up herbal mixture: three parts of thistle, one of juniper and one of wormwood. Pour over these herbs hot water and read a conspiracy on it:

"What I think, it will come true, what I say,
then it will be done that I wash it, then it will be cleansed. "
When the water has cooled, wash your pet with it, saying:
"I conjure black earth,
I command the clear sun,
full moon I affirm:
get off all the evil eye and damage from the living place,
all the tides and torture on dark forests,
on swamps, on rotten logs,
where people do not walk, animals do not roam,
the beast does not prowl, the bird does not fly.
Like the sun and the moon there is no hindrance,
so my conspiracy is not and will not be,
so it was, so it will be. "

***
If your pet is sick or shows unreasonable anxiety, pour salt into a bowl and pronounce a conspiracy over it:
"How the supermundane force over the underground is established,
so all evil spirits from a living place will be destroyed. "
Walk around the animal three times in the direction of the sun: so that all the time you are turned to face it. While doing this, sprinkle it with salt and say:
"I destroy black with whites,
I banish damage to white, add strength to white.
Bad deed, back away, evil thought dissolve,
close the evil eye, move away from the living place.
My word is affirmation and strengthening,
I affirm with them, I strengthen them, I close them with them. "
This magic is effective on a waning moon.

***
If your cat, dog, or other pet is sick, carry a knife over its back, moving it from left to right with the tip forward. Then carry the knife under its belly with the handle forward and again over the back. Make three such full circles with a knife, pronouncing the conspiracy:
"I cut off all the damage, all the evil eye.
Recoil from this beast all thinness,
all pendulous, don't hide in the wool,
do not take root in your belly, you have gone over three seas,
don't come back. "
Then go to deserted place and stick the knife into the ground there up to its handle.

***
On Tuesday or Saturday, say about the food that you feed your pets: “Damage is black, but fierce, you don’t nest in my backyard, don’t run around with my cattle! Get back from my yard, yes, step back from my doorstep! From now on and forever, you will not harm anyone. May it be so! Amen! Amen! Amen!"

***
- Take a glass sour milk and read "Our Father" three times on it. And then once "May God rise again!" Autumn three times sign of the cross: “Damage to corruption, and disaster - to the devil. You won't be here, don't choke my cattle, don't roll my cattle! Go to the one who sent it, but don't harm my cattle! May it be so! Amen! Amen! Amen!"
Pour this conspiratorial drink into food for your animals.

***
- During the week, observe strict fasting both in food and in words and actions. The ceremony should only be done in the evening. Place a wax candle near the icon of Jesus Christ. Be baptized three times with the words: "Lord, bless!" Then read Psalm 90. Take a clean tablespoon. Put three incense peas in there. Melt over the candle that stands by the icon. When the incense melts and begins to smoke, take a candle and, holding a spoon of incense over it, go around all the outbuildings so that they are fumigated. Then, in the same way holding a branch of St. John's wort above the candle, you fumigate everything with smoke with the words: “Damage spoiled, go to the one who sent you, roll! Do not itch in my yard! May it be so! Amen! Amen! Amen!"

We offer you a selection of statuses, aphorisms and quotes about animals. Philosophical statements help you rethink your relationship to nature, and funny phrases about pets will cheer you up.

Animals are an integral part of nature. Some of them represent the world wildlife, others feel like masters of human homes.

How can you not love animals? After all, they amaze us with their devotion and ingenuity. Unlike humans, pets do not betray. They patiently listen to their masters and keep their secrets. Someone has a pet so as not to feel lonely, someone to discipline themselves, someone so that their children do not get bored. And someone, maybe, was just walking down the street, saw a fluffy lump and took it to him. Not many can decide on such an act. Most still prefer to wind up purebred cats and dogs, royal pigs or fish. In fact, the breed of your pet is not important, if you sincerely love him - he will definitely reciprocate you.

Most often, cats, dogs, fish, parrots and turtles are brought up in city apartments. The most loyal of them are dogs, the most affectionate are cats. A pet is not only fun, but also care and responsibility. Animals discipline their owners. They often act as alarm clocks, but they are not very interested in the fact that you need to wake up at 7, not 5 in the morning!

The only drawback of the KITTEN is that sooner or later it turns into a CAT.

Children also have such a disadvantage)

How much more beautiful life would be if we were all the way our dogs see us.

If every person had a pet, society would be more responsible and kind.

Anyone who says you can't buy happiness has never bought a puppy.

Or a kitten ...)

If the dogs spoke, people would lose their last friends.

We are friends with animals, because we do not hear from them the truth about ourselves ...

Honey, let's get a kitten!
- No, you know I'm allergic to animal fur.
- It's strange, there is an allergy to a cat, but to mink coat- No?…

You don't need to feed the fur coat and you don't need to clean up after it either ...)

The only member of my family who has a personal fitness trainer is my dog!

Train and do not be jealous!)

It's good that my cat can't talk - she knows too much!

Pets are like a diary: they know everything, but they won't tell anyone)

The guinea pig is a unique animal. It has nothing to do with the sea or pigs.

People also have nothing to do with deer, but some walk with antlers ...)

Is it okay to throw out pets? If you have a cat, a dog, and no matter who, they become a member of the family! This is the same as throwing your child out into the street!

Having an animal at home means taking responsibility for its life.

A dog only hurts when it dies.

Leaving life pet is tantamount to the departure of any family member ...

Judging by the character of the cat, Ozverin and Tsarapun are added to the Whiskas food.

It would be better to add Antibloch there)

About man and animals

Only someone who had never been a beast himself could come up with signs prohibiting feeding them.

If people were allowed to feed the animals in the zoo, can you imagine what they would bring them? Chips, popcorn, cotton candy ...)))

My wife loves animals.
- And my vegetarian.

Mine loves to look after them, not eat ...)

They say that a dog is a friend of man. Hopefully this huge, muzzled Rottweiler is running to see how I'm doing ...

In the meantime, you hope, look for a tree and climb it ...)

But do you know how nice it is to wake up not because the silence is pierced by the alarm clock, pumping up your nerves from the very morning, but because the cat purrs over the ear, sings its cat song ...

And the chorus of the song sounds like this: feed me, feed me ...)

Do you know why the oceans and seas are salty? The ocean is salty from the tears of sharks who just want to cuddle, but no one understands them !!

Say also that they are just flirting with people, and not attacking them ...)

The beast knows who he is and accepts it. A person may and knows who he is, but he questions everything. He is dreaming. He hopes. Changes. Is growing.

Animals always have specific goals. It would not hurt for a man to learn from animals ...

In fact, at the zoo, children learn their first lesson in cruelty. Take a closer look at how ponies look there, especially those that ride children. Tortured, old, sick, poorly fed. Because no healthy horse or pony will allow a child to be put on it. And you need to go to the circus from the very early years instill disgust. The circus teaches children to have fun by looking at the suffering of other living beings. I do not want my son to go to performances, the performances of which are built on humiliation and mockery of other creatures. When our children become adults, there will be another world around, better and more humane, and old cruel amusements cannot be dragged into it. (A. Nevzorov)

And here it is the other way around: cruelty turns into a spectacle and brings pleasure to everyone.

Animals know much more than humans. Dogs can sense an earthquake beforehand. Birds fly by half the globe to find your nest. If people listened to animals more often, they wouldn't make so many mistakes. (Helen Brown)

People think they are smarter ... naive.

But the fact of the matter is that for centuries a person was lifted above animals and carried upward not by a stick, but by music: the irresistibility of unarmed truth, the attractiveness of its example. (Boris Pasternak)

If animals could play music, they would listen to it too.

Quotes and aphorisms

Lion is the king of the animals. Until the lioness woke up.

The male leads everything until the woman comes.

A house without a cat is not a house, but some kind of dog kennel!

And a house with a cat, a dog, a turtle and a parrot is like a zoo ...)

To understand whether animals have a soul, one must have a soul oneself. (Albert Schweitzer)

Animals feel and experience no less than people.

Animals are very nice friends: they don't ask questions or criticize. (George Eliot)

And instead of advice they ask for food)

He who feeds a hungry animal feeds his own soul. (Charlie Chaplin)

Having got a dog, you will guard her, and she will walk you.

Chickens live in peace and harmony under one roof, and two roosters can never get along in one chicken coop - such is their nature.

They also say that female friendship can not be…)

The mouse is an animal whose path is littered with fainted women.

The mice are small, but the cry through them comes out big.

Without a cat there is no home, without a dog there is no yard.

... The more I know people,
how more life i study
the more I love animals.
A. Fedotov

It's easier to love animals - it's true. I love animals more than people. They are simpler, less insidious. Most often you know what to expect from them, they are more predictable. The dog is always waiting, wags its tail and loves, substitutes its belly, runs around you, licks his hands. Not hysterical. She does not need to be forced to do her homework, no need to argue, reckon with her opinion, and so on. You can even sterilize so as not to be afraid of what will bring in the hem! And he will not become a drug addict!

I love animals more than people !!! They are loyal and kind ... AND THE DOGS - WELL, I JUST ADORE ... I hate those people who do not love animals and cause them suffering ... I would kill all these moral freaks ...

Why do some people love animals more than people? Or maybe this is not bad?

How cruel we are
With a different cut of the eyes,
Feelings for people are deep
They often leave us alone.

Cats, dogs and others
Can make you cry
We stand in line to help them
To buy sausage.

Are partial to suffering
Animals of different colors,
Only there is no compassion in us
To the problems of unhappy people.

Tragedy does not touch us
Well this is someone else's misfortune
It's easier to turn on comedy
Calm to save.

You've probably noticed that animal lovers fall into two categories. The first is those who love animals and get along well with people. They are not fanatical about animals, and more prefer human communication.

The second category of animal lovers is those who rush to other people for disrespecting their charges. There are plenty of cases when owners of cats and dogs harm children for neglecting their pets. (This, of course, is not about sadism - when a child torments an animal, and certain measures must be taken to re-educate such a child.) Such people are sometimes ready to sacrifice their own lives for the sake of their beloved animal, but at the same time indifferently pass by a person lying on the ground ...

Why it happens? Why do some people prefer animals to people?

Every person wants to be happy. All our experiences, feelings of joy or longing are associated with the presence or absence emotional connections with others. People cannot be happy without other people. Because man is a social being. A child cannot grow up as a human being among animals.

But at times it is not possible to achieve happiness in life. We often expect from others what they cannot give us. This is because we do not really understand ourselves and other people ... We look at them through the prism of our ideas, our system of values. Without thinking that people are different, different from us, not so much outwardly, but in terms of inner qualities.

They may not like animals, but at the same time rescue a child from a burning house. Or they may not love anyone at all in the usual sense, but at the same time remain cultured and decent.

The fact that some people love animals more than people indicates that they have unfulfilled desires. If a person feels an inner emptiness, dissatisfaction with life, he throws it out on other people in the form of hostility.

After all, when everything is black inside, then those around us seem bad. And only a beloved animal will comfort and distract from sad thoughts.

Not feeling joy and satisfaction from life, a person resorts to himself easy way to receive joy - to your beloved animal. After all, one does not need to learn to understand him, to adapt to him as to a person. You can just love him unconditionally. And receive reciprocity in return. And this is easier than falling in love with people..

Why learn to love people if it’s good with an animal?

And how does it happen
What are the abilities in us
Loving animals is desperate
And in people to see only dirt ...?

Maybe just a little ...
Maybe just a little bit
Let's give each other joy
Consolation of someone else's sadness?

Give not only to animals
We will give our love
And the world will smile more willingly.
After all, there is blood in us of humanity!

Why is it not enough to just love animals and not people? Because we are born as humans! We are not created by cats and dogs - "there is blood in us of humanity!" And without other people, we ourselves would not exist, we simply would not have survived alone.

Love for people does not mean giving up love for animals. On the contrary, a person who loves other people treats the whole world well..

But how not to love animals more than people, if communication with people sometimes brings pain? This is because no one taught us how to properly interact with those around us. Until recently .

Now there is new knowledge about the human psyche, with the help of which you can learn about its structure - thoughts, desires, motives, intentions of people. Yuri Burlan's "system-vector psychology" helps to understand oneself and to realize another as oneself.

Learning to understand the psyche of other people through the training " System-vector psychology"Yuri Burlan, you will no longer ask the question of who should be loved more - animals or people. Because when you know and understand another person, communication with him brings incomparable joy.

In the same way as in Ancient Greece, also among the ancient Romans there were great philosophers-vegetarians (Horace, Ovid, Plutarch). Plutarch (45-12O AD) writes in his treatise "On Meat Eating &": "Can you really ask for what motives. Pythagoras abstained from eating meat? For my part, I ask the question under what circumstances and in what state of mind For the first time, a person decided to taste the taste of blood, reach out with his lips to the flesh of a corpse and decorate his table with dead, decaying bodies, and how he allowed himself to call food pieces of that which had just mooed and bleated, moved and lived ... for the sake of the flesh we steal they have sun, light and life to which they have the birthright. "

Pythagoras (c. 5OO BC), who also knew about the law of reincarnation, said: "He who cuts the throat of a cow with a knife and remains deaf to the lowing of horror, who can cold-bloodedly beat a bleating goat and dine on a bird that he himself gave food - how far is such a person from crime? "

"

"The one who kills animals and gives them unjustified suffering, as people do in slaughterhouses, will be killed in the next and in many other lives in the same way. Such crimes are never forgiven. If a person kills many thousands of animals in a professional manner, so that other people can buy meat for food, he must know that in next life, life after life they will kill him in the same way. "
