I dislike dogs, I think they’re annoying and I generally dislike their personalities unless they’re a) working (in which case I shouldn’t interfere with them) or b) basically cats (in which case, just get a cat, they’re far more physically pleasant to touch). I’m not afraid of them and I don’t hate or resent their existence, they’re important animals, I just don’t want them around me.
But if a dog comes over and wants pets or play then I WILL pretend I love it and I will pet it so much because it’s not the dog’s fault that I don’t like them. It wouldn’t understand my rejection and I don’t want to make it sad. Just because it’s an unpleasant animal doesn’t mean it deserves to be sad.
There seems to be a deeper philosophy one could derive from this but as it is its solid.
Behaving with basic compassion for other living things regardless of whether they fulfil your own emotional and aesthetic preferences. The world makes me happy but the amount of happiness I bring others isn’t contingent on them making me happy first. It’s not a serotonin transaction.
… Transactional Serotonin would make an absolutely fucking baller band name.
