Hey, everyone, trigger warning. This is a rant. Exercise caution. I'm in my morning walk, as usual, walking with Burfy, and this tiny kid was in the distance. The moment he spotted Burfy, he just froze and stood there. But the kid was on the right. And Bursie, as you know, he's a golden retriever, eight month old puppy. He was on my left
So is there some sort of evil done if the dog touches the child instead of the child reaching out and touching the dog? Do you know what I mean? There's just so many assumptions there and I don't even know how to make sense of any of that

If that hasn't clear already, I'm sure he's going to be mad or she is going to be or they are going I don't know what pronoun to use for God, to be honest, because I don't think it is as simple as masculine, feminine or non binati. Whatever we are dealing with, it's something out of our understanding, right? Which is why there is theology, so much theology that exists

But like I said in the original swell, I was mentally a little upset that it almost like it's like a child. And my puppy, his name is Burfi, literally translated burfi, as in B-U-R-F-I means a sweet people have in Hindi. But yeah, he's a sweet kid. And he's one of those very mild tempered generally there is no aggression amounts of aggression in him

And as long as they don't encroach in your privacy or harm you or cause you any mental strain, you should be patient enough to coexist with them. As far as stray dogs are concerned, indies, there is a divided opinion for that as well. Well, if you love the indies so much, then you've got to take care of them and take them to shelters, get them neutered, get them vaccinated
I'm sure I am. But somewhere around that is the belief. But at the same time, unfortunately, you would think that if this is the belief, then the trans community would be having all kinds of privileges and security and laws in place. And they may be viewed as the norm and embraced, but that's not the case either. Some of them are because of a lot of stigma attached to, quote unquote, a third gender

And we were walking one morning and there was a dog that came running to us and she literally she was screaming. And I had a tough time sending the dog away and calming her down. And on the other hand, I have someone who works for me who, again, might have, given that this sort of conditioning is there, should have had a similar response, but somehow happened to take in a stray pup and is looking after that pup, taking care of its needs so beautifully

I'm sure there must be government agencies or NGOs serving that purpose. But if not, there ought to be almost like every CSR responsibility in any of these corporates. They ought to be open and impart skill development programs, initiatives, and there would be so many volunteers who would want to share their thoughts and experiences, or they could even be invited, if they're educated, then they could be invited into any of those vocational courses and free of charge

They have no such instances or incidents or anything. And I asked them, did you have a bad experience or anything of that sort? And I said no. So then why do you have this anti animal fear? Or let's put it just for this unfounded psychosis fear. Psychosis? No. I keep reading and seeing in the newspaper that the dog bit the owner. I was like, yeah, that is the sensational part
