wild horse dont need helps!

then don't keep them. If you see a kitten in the wild you don't have to put it in a cage. you can feed it, pet it if it comes up to you, but it's not YOURS

Lasso it and spam the "Calm" action.

If you get kicked by the horse you already did something wrong.
Sometimes it is the best to even let others do what they want without treat them at all.

The Art of life is... to stay relaxed neutral in every situation and see everything from both sides.

Very true statement 😊 a ton of things go smoothly if you take things into consideration from all angles.

Love those who want love. Give space to those that want space. If someone needs a hug, give them a hug, don't YELL at them and tell them to GO SIT IN THE CORNER and KICK them

don't beat innocent animals. don't beat innocent humans. Love your friends, love your pets. DON'T BE AN ASSHOLE.

exactly

exactly. if the horse doesn't want attention, don't touch it. Same with humans. but if the horse comes up to you... and lets you pet it. you can try.

I was gonna say beer but that works.

Ever seen birds eat fermented berries? Even animals like to get sloshed ;3

I'm not sure how to feel about this analogy.

Follow your instincts and act with kindness thinking about how the animal sees you.

The secret to happiness is subjugating anyone who defies you and humiliating and torturing them until they fear and revere you and do everything you say without an insolent word!

Well an army is training you to be a weapon, not a person.

When the army tells you to jump you say how high, not WHY. It's not life.

I respond, 'Which button?'

Actually you don't respond with anything at all, you jump. The whole point of military training is to make you able to act without thinking or questioning.

That being said, I DO understand your statement.

So it is not snorting come off a strippers ass?

Heh. Definitely makes sense.

Thank you. Don't keep it to yourself. Let others know, and share the love

Yes indeed. The more the merrier :3

Tought it was more of treat others as you'd like to be treated.

exactly

I don't keep horses, I don't ride horses. But I'll pet dogs and treat a dog that isn't mine with respect.

‘It’s important to be kind. You can’t know all the times that you’ve hurt people in tiny, significant ways. It’s easy to be cruel without meaning to be. There’s nothing you can do about that. But you can choose to be kind. Be kind.’
-Anonymous

'Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.'
-Lao Tzu

and you don't know if a dog hasn't been tortured, beaten and mistreated... if a beaten dog bites at you, it's the same as a human who's been abused.

I'd rather spend my life giving people the benefit of the doubt than spend my life being cynical and not trusting anyone. I've been hurt plenty of times-badly. If anything it's why I refuse to let those times rule me. Not saying others who have had worse experiences don't have reasons to not trust or that one shouldn't be careful but everyone is unique. There are a lot of kind people out there. I'd rather focus on them.

Nice to see another patron of Callahan's.

I'm friends with a good friend of Spider's so I've been fortunate enough to have been able to show my appreciation even if by proxy.

Whoa, that's awesome!

I say to treat people like you treat bacteria. Some are helpful and absolutely essential for life. A few are harmful all the time and should be avoided at all costs. Some are beneficial at some times and harmful at others. The overwhelming majority are completely neutral and never impact your life. It's always important to know when to wash your hands of them before they can hurt you. Finally, you need to remember that they all serve a role and have a purpose, so no matter how much some of them may have hurt you, it's best to learn to just keep them away from yourself and avoid the temptation to completely get rid of all the ones you don't like. They're important to someone somewhere.

My experience in life so far has demonstrated that the solution to life's problems and the secret to happiness is... money. Certainly not having it has caused me problems and made me stressed and miserable, so I can only image the opposite condition would be better.

Money comes with its own problems, mainly people who target you for your money. I think the solution is having enough money to give some to everybody, but until we elect President Sanders...

Sanders wants to take money from one group who didn't work for it and give it to everyone else until the system collapses, at which point military rule will become a necessity (see: Venezuela and every other country were his model has ever been tried). Charity is nice, but only because it upholds the social contract.

somehow i doubt the secret to life or happiness is as simple as a little analogy. Maybe, just maybe, Its a little more complicated than that. Still sounds nice though.

I don't know what happened, I won't ask, but if something happened to prompt this then as a PTSD sufferer (from high school, not military) myself, I offer my condolences.

You are a wise man a wise man indeee, we should give you much kisses

"well son, you know, you have to put your penis in there LIIIIIIKKKEE this you know...."

I was under the impression the key to happiness was something else: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdLw8tSUT_Q

My sister owns two wild horses, she 'liberated them' from a horse trailer bound for a Mexican meat processing plant. She uses quiet, gentle words towards them. She has them on several acres of property so they aren't really penned. Took them a few days to even approach her and accept food from her hand. And within a month, would readily approach her for cheek patting and nose rubs. She has them bridled to show that she is watching, is caring for them to others. She said that they were totally spooked to re-enter a horse trailer for weeks (She used one of her other horses as a guild to show that its okay, seemed to work). One has gradually accepted to be saddle ridden, the other will throw off the saddle, but allow bareback riding. One also doesn't trust or get near men with facial hair, the other is far more trusting. Once bribed with snacks, both will allow petting by men, but riding is out of the question.

She figures they are happier this way, protected and get proper care and grooming. Beats being chased by motorcycles, 4X4s and winding up as taco meat.

watch Marty Roberts' video on training horses. or read his tome called the Horse Whisperer. He used it on a wild mustang and was riding the horse in a half an hour after getting a bridle and saddle on her in the wild!

exactly hon... imagine humans that were adopted like myself who were raised by monstrous people... who once they finally got out and had someone take care of them and show them a life of love like my boyfriend and the furry community... they became a loving creature- but still had problems when it came to seeing cruelty or treating others with social cruelty ...

I'd rather die than be treated like I was growing up... but I want nothing more than to treat others with love, compassion and kindness...

It's even worse when it's your own blood relatives, and there's little way to escape it....

Your own cat is not yours, they are domesticated while they want to be. If they want to be wild again it is their choice! Wild horses are easier to train use Marty Roberts methods of making friends, once done YOU become the lead Mare of the herd of you and the ex-wild horse, (to anyone else it is still a wild horse, but to you, it is your best buddy). Dogs are even easier to give them treats at a certain time and they will become your buddy, or help them when they are in a predicament they can't get themselves out of, then you become a surrogate mommy.

exactly -- I found a stray kitten recently and took it into my house to feed it, give it a place to rest and get healthy. but I never wanted to keep it as a pet. I left food out for it until it topped coming around.

Said kitten: Lucas (I'm the one talking to him)

I practice Rosecrutian Hermetic magic. One of the exercises is to build up your psychic Heart center. I have found that I have become more compassionate and able to correctly discern lies from what others have sworn was the truth. I am a loving person normally from the practice. It also has gone to the point that not only am I not prejudiced but also I won't stand for other people being prejudiced around me.
I once stopped traffic by getting out of my car, (parked it in the traffic line to turn left a half mile ahead). In a suit I walked across the street to where a white man was calling a Black woman a bunch of cruel names. Everyone was honking their horns and yelling at me to get back in my car and no hold-up traffic, i waved them off and told the white guy, "Apologize!" He said, "What I won't apologize who the F*** are you?!" I said, "Apologize or I will wipe up the sidewalk with your face!" ...I am 6'4 and was in a padded shoulder suit making me look pretty gigantic, He said half-heartedly "I'm sorry..." with a sneer. I said "NO! You Apologize right!" He stopped shook up at my meanancing command, He said: " I'm sorry, I should not have said those things, I apologize...!" I said thank you, I turned and went back to my car, those people who watched and heard me were applauding and yelling approval. I did not know either one of those people and never saw either one again.

I have kicked homophobes off the company property for harassing gay people simply because they are gay and corrected friends not to use mean racist words around me. I have developed fearlessness in the face of mean racist people, I don't use it on others I enforce my viewpoint upon other people as well.

I was robbed at gunpoint, the robber was not fast enough to keep me from wrapping my hand around his pistol. he broke something inside the revolver, the sear spring or the advancing lever inside it. I let go after he tried to shoot me with it three times but it could not work in my grip. After it was broken this Hispanic man hit me with all these mean words and racism, I did two things, one I did not respond in kind, and two I did not do what he wanted. His gun was broken so he had no power over me. He was stronger so he grabbed the register drawer off the register top and walked away. I glared at the camera when I was not hearing any sirens, He was gone by the time I got out the door. I looked at the cameras because I was told the owner was watching me at all times so I had to keep working. This turned out to be a lie. About a year later the leader of the
North Park Gang 0f 5500 members came in to meet me. I showed his robber who worked for him more honor than he showed me, He asked what I wanted, I asked him to help my coworkers from my new boss that was firing and harassing my Hispanic co-workers, normally I take it upon myself to fight for them against unwarranted meanness by the management or customers that are inherently racist.

Things changed where I worked my new boss was absent for a month after that and stopped being an ass to my co-workers, I was not a boss in that company just another cashier! I defend people I don't know when I see them being attacked. Doing that exercise years ago made me be more involved. I help people without a thought of reward, or expectation that I might get one.

I helped a girl by stopping her foot bleeding out from a really bad deep cut. I helped a man that was beginning to have a heart seizure at ComicCon when I saw was extremely pale. I found the fire department paramedics when they were not at their station, then told them what to do when they said they could not help the man with the equipment they had with them, I told them what to do even though I had no authority to do so. I help people in obvious trouble on the side of the road, I help people that don't ask for it when I recognize they need help. they go away and I never see them again. I help people by giving advice instead of money so they can feed their addictions.

I offer people wisdom because I can read thoughts of some people after doing these psychic exercises.

It is not just the reaction to bad upbringing; it is you. I became less shy but was not adopted, even so, I had a bad childhood, maybe not as bad as yours but one that was traumatic.

Even if you care for it, it might still tample you to death on a whim.

Don't rely on people for your happiness. People can, often will, hurt you. Rely on yourself.

What

Are you recommending we fuck horses?

are they your species?

are you recommending we ride humans? You don't see horses fucking dogs.

Deep down inside I identify am a horse!

Also riding humans sounds great! Let's subjugate them all >:O

only gay horses, herto horses take a dim view of gay people messing with their tools. You can tell if a horse is gay if they just stand there and let another stallion ream them like a mare. The mounter can't do a reach around on the mountee, ..."but if you would be so kind"...! they would say if they had vocal cords.

Which brings me to another point, I agree with the ancient Pre-Hindu Vedas that Man is not related to apes. Yes, we might have almost enough genes to be a chimpanzee but we also have almost enough to be a Whale or a horse too. I think Darwin is wrong, we are not descendant from apes, it is the other way around The Vedas specifically state there were ape-men alongside Humans in the ancient past, about two ice ages past. I believe the 'other' versions of ape-men like Australopithecus africanus and Cro-Magnon etc, were simply genic mutations to create an inferior slave race. Dr. Loius leaky declined to show that there were homo sapiens- sapiens, (Modern Humans) footprints in the same layer of volcanic ash strata where he discovered Australopithecus Africanus by his wife. But THAT went against the approved Archeological theory of the Darwinist evolution accepted theory, so they explained that the Autralanpithicus rolled its toes out completely flat and molded a big toe print, (instead of a thumb on the inside of the foot) in the ash! I say Bullshyte to that half-baked explanation based on supposition as to how Human footprints are in the same rock strata!

I say this because of all the animals only humans have vocal cords! No other animal has anything even in vestigial form like vocal cords in their throat!

I do my best to live without judgement. Like, dude, be into whatever you're into. It's none of my business.

I MEAN I AM A FURRY THO SO MAYBE I'M A LITTLE BIASED

yeah, that makes sense!

WRONG, the right answer is to crush your enemies and see them driven before you.

In my experience, the secret to a reasonably happy life is to have a few Nice Things but not too many, and to be largely content with what you *do* have. Keep your desires (relatively) realistic and don't tick off or hurt other people if you can help it.

If you can manage that, most of the time you'll be all right. Nothing's perfect on this crazy little Earth, though, so you'll have a couple dark patches, but remember that everybody else has to slog through that once in a while, and if you can do that and follow the rest, then -- like I said -- you'll be okay for the most part.
