The argument

January 24, 2008

I was reading a book about the two sides of love – the hard side and soft side love. One paragraph read -  people who hold in their frustration and fail to be hard with others when it’s needed pay a price – in some cases, much too high a price. Just then my cat (catty) and her partner dog (doggy) started to quarrel. Their argument was about a bone which was given to doggy and another dog (doggy boggy) by Mrs. Goody. The two dogs were supposed to share the bone but doggy boggy wouldn’t hear of it. So they went to a court and it took 11 years to settle their dispute. A wise verdict was given by the judge to cut the bone into two equal parts and give one piece to each dog. The problem was one side of the bone has a picture of doggy boggy’s dead daughter and he wanted to have that piece. The judge didn’t say (and actually didn’t care) about no picture. So doggy boggy came to doggy to beg him to give him that piece with his daughter’s pic……..

Now this is where the argument between catty and doggy came into picture.

Argument: doggy “I am never gonna give him that piece. I have waited 11 years for what was lawfully mine. And now we have to draw lots to find out who gets which piece. I don’t care whichever piece I get. But if I get the piece with the picture of doggy boggy’s daughter, I’ll not eat it and neither will he…..i’ll smash it to bits and pieces. That’s how I felt 11 years ago.  I could have died in these 11 years without eating this lawfully mine half bone and thank God I’m alive to see this day. Now I’m going to the church to praise the Lord about the verdict and pray to him to help me get the piece with the pic. of doggy boggy’s daughter

 

…………when I think about it now ….there was no argument….it was just doggy talking and catty listening (and thinking….“doggy is wrong, he should just give doggy boggy the piece, he wanted, which is the best thing for everyone. He goes to church everyday and I don’t think they teach him revenge. If they do there is something wrong with them. There is nothing beautiful than giving and forgiving”…but she didn’t speak these words…why??? Because she is a cat (catty)…and a cat doesn’t have a voice in a dog’s world)…. she was also reading the paragraph which read……people (not cats) who hold in their frustration pay a price – in some cases, much too high a price.
