Secret Chief
nirvana is samsara
Recently one of our cats collapsed. We took him to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with pancreatitis. We thought we were going to lose him, but fortunately he seems to have pulled through.
I put this on a whatsapp group (no meet-ups cos of lockdown) and one friend's response was "Cats are lovely but are very expensive too" and ended with a cat smiley face.
WTAF?
I can't say I'm psychologically invested with her children but if she'd posted "One of my sons is very poorly, he's in hospital and I fear we may lose him" would she have felt it appropriate if I'd replied with "Children are lovely but are very expensive too" ? Probably not, so it's lucky it would never cross my mind.
