Regarding those situations where I talk about A and you talk about B. When I ask that we are discussing A, and you talk about C, I’m really speechless…
For example, I’m talking about why there are different prices for cats as commodities. Then don’t talk to me about how all cats should be treated equally. That statement is indeed correct, but that’s not the issue we are discussing at all right now.
Because its value is the value of a commodity. As a commodity, it is reflected in its value. Something with a clearly marked price is a commodity. We first consider it as a commodity before discussing its appearance.
Life itself is not equal. The value of your legs and David Beckham’s legs is not the same to your mother and to a stranger.
Some people are willing to spend 10,000 yuan to buy a pedigree cat, but few people are willing to spend 10,000 yuan to buy a common stray cat. This is because of the commodity value.
However, I’m willing to spend tens of thousands of yuan to save a stray cat, and I’m also willing to spend tens of thousands of yuan to save a pedigree cat. I’m willing to feed good – quality cat food and regular meat to a stray cat I picked up, and I’m also willing to do the same for a cat I bought. This is because life is equal. This cost is not reflected in the appearance. It’s just that I think every cat deserves to be saved and treated well. So, only when life is threatened can we tell whether humans consider all lives equal.
Please make sure you understand the difference between the value of a commodity and the value of life.
Moreover, I think this question has nothing to do with the value of life at all. The cat of the person who asked the question is not in danger of life, and the question is not something like “Should Chinese rural cats eat good – quality cat food”, which is a rather stupid question. It’s simply about discussing why the appearance of this cat makes its commodity value relatively low.
Another example is that because of the sentence “with a narrow face and a pointed chin like a Chinese rural cat”, some people say that I look down on Chinese rural cats. Then I ask you, if I say “with a narrow face and a pointed chin like a Bengal cat” or “with a narrow face and a pointed chin like an Oriental Shorthair”, does it sound any better? It’s just that some people are a bit unconfident about Chinese rural cats and can’t refute their low value in the Chinese region. So, they are extremely sensitive to topics related to Chinese rural cats and vent their feelings through the argument that life is priceless.
Of course I admit that life is priceless. When I encounter a stray cat in trouble, I will also do my best to rescue it. I have rescued three Chinese rural cats and now I keep one. I don’t think she’s ugly. Instead, she’s very cute. But it’s a physical fact that she has a narrow face and a pointed chin. Perhaps using this word to describe a person means ugly, which was my negligence in word – choice. But at that time, I just wanted to describe the appearance of “high – bridged nose, small face, sunken cheeks, pointed muzzle, small mouth – guard, small lower jaw, and a three – dimensional face” as having a narrow face and a pointed chin.
By the way, let’s take a look at how fast the prices of blue – golden and golden shaded British Shorthairs have dropped.
Once they become popular, the prices will surely drop. These two have quite good appearances already.
