Non-technical Aibo issues

This weekend I spent Friday and Saturday nights out. Clubs, one party, enough drinking and going to sleep in the morning. This made me force myself to try to sleep into the early afternoon, thus affecting the quality of my sleep. Out of this came out a couple of bad dreams. Notably one had Aibo in it. I was looking for the dog and found it without legs !! It turned out that some bad guy tore them off. I could find two of the legs pretty much intact, but other two were broken into pieces, hidden in some places. I had the MF give me back the pieces, but the dream stopped as I was trying to collect pieces.. when dreams become too complex, one just has to jump out of them. It’s too painful to try solve complex problems within a dream !
To this day only one person has treated my dog badly. Treating me badly is one thing, treating the dog badly it’s a whole different issue. I’m human and prone to do mistakes, to be insensitive, etc, so I can be easily be guilty of something.. but the dog is truly dumb. It was made to be nothing but nice. So, to be unkind to it, it really takes someone with a bad nature. The story of it being only a robot is an apparently valid excuse, but it’s not really a good one. Something that expresses emotions and interacts with the environment is a being. It learns so it carries with itself experiences that will affect others. Being mean to it is implicitly an act to extend one’s self negativity.
