You're right, part of us does want to hit back when we're hit. Self-protection. But part of what makes us human is our ability for forward/future thought. We can override our fight or flight responses if take a moment to consider them.
I do not believe humans are "higher" than animals in a value sense, but I do think this is the way in which we differ from most animals. When most animals are bit they bite back. Humans can consider multiple outcomes, and choose the one with the best chance of a positive outcome.
I'm jealous of your spa idea...I hope you get to go soon and that you have a WONDERFUL time. Keep us up to date in your planning and all the fun you have! Some of us would give almost anything for a bit of sun this time of year
I’ll be sure to keep you all posted. This isn’t a trip I can take at the moment. It’s going to take a bit of planning money wise. So it’s probably will be a few months away, lol! Thank you so much again for the advice!
