ArchivesRe: "Name the Minpin" Contest
in reply to a message by Nanaea
...I'm beginning to have second thoughts about your evil nature. You recue MinPins instead of recycling them into chamois (a la Cruella Deville). Everything you say radiates goodness. Could it be that your Satanism is of the Hanna Barberra variety?????? :p

Hey, who says Satanists can't be nice, too? :)
But seriously, there is absolutely nothing at all un-Satanic about "radiating goodness"... to the worthy. The fourth of the Nine Satanic Statements is simply this: "Satan represents kindness to those who deserve it, instead of love wasted on ingrates." My affection is a very precious thing, and I would not waste it on someone who couldn't appreciate it or treat it as a thing of value. That would be an absolutely foolish -- and emotionally unhealthy -- thing to do. I don't automatically love or "radiate goodness" to every human being I meet -- in fact, there are a great many human beings I meet to whom I find myself talking an immediate disliking.
And, if I were to come across Jana/Sara*~/Whatever and one of my dogs, and both appeared to be drowning... Guess which one I would save without a moment's hesitation and with a serenely clear conscience? :)

I see, the interspersed fragments are falling into place. Under the circumstances, allow me to retract
the "Hanna-Barberra" remark, it was silly and undeservedly snide :P

I once read a variation of this incredible quote somewhere years ago. I just cant remember
who uttered it...maybe I just dreamt of it. Believe it or not, this ejaculation has been in my repertoire for
years when confronting ingrates, much to their horror! Would be very grateful if you reminded me of its
parentage...unless you also also dream of it :)

I thought that was a Nanaea quote. :) Although, I have heard before the expression: "The more I see of people, the more I love my dog." And, of course, there are the immortal words of my favorite American writer, Mark Twain: "If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man."

An also: Gratitude is the most noble of human emotions, which in practice is only displayed by dogs.
