Sometimes journeying into the wilds of Cageland can feel like watching Animal Planet or a National Geographic Wildlife Edition. A combination of majestic (and not so majestic) creatures from across the globe.
Sometimes through chat, blogs, and private messages we can find the animals tearing into each other, sinking their teeth in to devour their next meal. Carefully calculated attacks on the weaker ones can often destroy them and they are never heard from again. Other attacks leave deep scars.
Today's episode, however, is about those sneaky moves and maneuvers by those who cannot be happy for others. The smoothly (or not so smoothly) calculated moves to encroach upon the territory of another. The poachers. It happens BOTH ways- Doms trying to poach subs and subs trying to poach Doms.
***Definition of poach
(Entry 2 of 2)
intransitive verb
1: to encroach upon especially for the purpose of taking something
2: to trespass for the purpose of stealing game
Thank you Merriam-Webster for the definition***
I don't know about you, my friends, but I think this is ridiculous! There is no respect that comes from poaching. It's not something anyone should be proud of. You don't see news articles praising the poachers in the wild, and you certainly won't have your praises sung in Cageland!
In fact, it makes me want to go Little Bunny FooFoo style on you-scoop you up and Bop you on the head!
Life is already so full of drama, it amazes me that people like to cause extra drama. Why can't we be happy for others? From the time my munchkin was little, (he is 7.5 now) we taught him that even if you lose in a game, be happy for the person who won. No crying or throwing a fit. Be happy for them, afterall, we want people to be happy for us when we win.
The same principle applies here in Cageland. Stop trying to rain on someone else's happy! You may just poke the wrong bear- the one that turns into a "mama bear" and protector. Watch out!
If you are that hungry, I politely suggest you go poach an egg!
