I love that in my new book, I have some pet peeves. I’m not going to get into all of them, but I do wonder if the people who read this book aren’t a tiny bit surprised that a vet would have such a pet peeve.
In my opinion, I think it’s a good one. I think that a pet peeve is basically what makes us human. It’s what makes you happy when you see a dog eating a stick of gum. Or a cat playing with a cat toy. Or a cat with a new toy. Or a cat who likes a new toy. I think that in general, as a species, we tend to like people who are nice and not too rude.
But if you think about it, its not really as much about being nice as it is about being alive. The way we’ve been taught to treat dogs, cats, and other animals is the way that animals are treated. As a species, we like the idea of being warm and cuddly. We like to be able to take care of ourselves, and we like the idea that people are our friends if we’re not bothering them.
But these days, that’s not the way we treat animals. We’re taught to like people who are not too rude, but we do not like dogs that are annoying, do not like cats that are mean, and do not like cats that are aggressive. We are not, after all, animals. We are people.
In one of the most famous studies ever, researchers found that dogs are more likely to bite than people are. But, sadly, even animals that are more friendly and cuddly are often treated badly.
This is all well and good, but there is an upside to this, too. When we treat others badly, we are in turn more likely to treat ourselves badly. And thus, when we treat ourselves badly, we end up treating others badly.
If this sounds like it might be a bit much for you, that’s because it is. Being treated badly by others and then being treated badly by yourself can be devastating, and I know I’ve been there. I was a nurse for 20 years in a busy emergency department. After I left, I was treated badly by my coworkers, who treated me like I was a monster and then treated me very poorly by the patients who needed me.
Like I said, being treated badly by others can be devastating, and I know that feeling. Some people who’ve been treated poorly by others end up treating themselves badly, and there’s nothing worse. It makes you wonder, is this a disease or a personality quirk? Either way, it can be a tough road to take.
I have no doubt that what I am dealing with is some sort of personality quirk. Or maybe it is a disease.
I used to think that personality quirk was the only thing that got people in trouble. But I have also seen people with personality quirk being very loving and caring. But again, there is something that can go wrong with this sort of loving caring. It all depends how you define the word “love”. A lot of people seem to have the same definition but just don’t know it. For me, I have never really felt loved.
