We all see people who show immense love and compassion for their pets. While caring for animals is a good thing, could there be a deeper, more troubling reason for this affection?
In this profound shiur, Rabbi Pinto reveals a life-changing insight: sometimes, our love for animals is a way to avoid dealing with the difficult complexities of human relationships. A person feels they are not good, kind, or compassionate enough towards other people, so they find an easier outlet for these feelings.
They calm their searching soul by giving a dog a pat or some food, summing up all their compassion in that single, simple act. True compassion, however, is meant for other people—especially those in need. Are you using your love for animals as a substitute for the harder, more important work of loving your fellow man?
