What right do you have to demand the conformity, of the behavior of another, to your expectations, to your preferences?

Do you think, that because of the present conditions of society, of the environment, of the financial situation, that you have the right, or authority, or legitimacy, to command others' lives?

Ever heard, "if you are under my roof, you'll do as I say!"?

How about, "I own this property!"?

Is this an excuse to have dis-respect? Is this an excuse to demand respect?

What is re-spect? Is it handed out like candy? Is it granted based on efforts to provide for another? Is it granted based on failed efforts to provide for another? Is it granted by simple proximity? Is it handed out based on good deeds? How many? Does the recipient have to be aware of such things? Or are the ignorance expected to be gracious for something that they cannot even grasp?

Is there a war of opposing desires taking place? Are the desires of some, more important than the desires of others? Why? Is the answer to that question given legitimacy, by the one giving the impression of a greater capacity for violence? Or, perhaps, by the greater stamina for whining?

How to correct a horse who is disrespectful, food protective or ear pinning

~~~

Yes, the behavior in the video, is much better then past means of expression towards others, like a true horse whisperer. Yet, we are not horses. Its great that learning to speak horse behavior helps to "solve" conflicts in a way they are used to within horse families and relationships, but we can do better.

For starters, one could NOT expect the horse to enjoy carrying your a$$ around, never mind being "kept" as a "pet", in a cage, regardless of how large that cage is.

Treating fellow humans in the same way, regardless of the particular gradient of ignorance-wisdom that they happen to presently be sitting in, is disrespectful, same as treating a horse that way.

Interaction, and therefore attention, is not something you can take, without earning an equal or greater abuse in return.

Is "care" and "concern" for the welfare of "animals" just an excuse to try and force a friendship?

Sit with your self, for a long time, to see what others are experiencing, when you try to force a friendship/relationship.
