Took a walk on the farm this afternoon.I came across a beautiful speckled bird chattering away on a tree branch.As soon as it saw me it flew away.Walked further down saw a squirrel....as soon as it saw me it scurried away.I went past a thicket of bushes and a duiker antelope jumped out of there and ran away disappearing behind the mountain.I followed in its footsteps as I was heading for the same rocky outcrop it ran past.I came across a family of dassies.They scattered in all directions as soon as they saw me.I climbed onto the highest rock so I could take in the spectacular views of the surroundings.Suddenly, I was overcome by great sadness.It just dawned on me that with every single animal encounter I had come across, every one of these animals, upon seeing me ran for its life !!.....We really are the most hated, revered, feared and probably despised species on Earth......and rightly so......we have taken away animals habitats, have killed them in great numbers in the name of sport and fun and whatever else we conjure up......when all they also want to do is live, procreate and enjoy life.We are Natures worst enemy.Anything in it that doesnt suit our needs is destroyed.I wonder how many more species are going to go extinct in my lifetime because of human greed or because they are not considered important enough to humans so are deemed disposable.The rest of the species will have to live their lives according to what crumbs humans decide are worth throwing at them.Their lives have lost all independence and self determination.Humanity has acquired complete control of all life on Earth.That cannot be a good thing !! We really are the true devils of this Earth and myself knowing that I am part of the human race which is perpetrating what can only be described as evil of an unprecedented scale on the world makes me feel guilty and helpless at the same time........Some of my horses, just arrived and are standing next to me , one sniffing at my hair, as if to say, come on snap out of it......live the moment....or at least I feel that is what was said......I was getting into a kind of frenzied bout of depression thinking about all these things.......horses to the rescue again......what would I ever do without them.......
