Hospitality does not seek power over others. Cruelty does. Cruelty deliberately causes harm, especially by crushing a person's self-respect ... The opposite of cruelty is hospitality, a sharing of power.~ Richard M. Gula ~
from his book To Walk Together Again
I'd say the orange boys do a pretty good job of sharing power with me...most of the time. We all live together quite hospitably.

Cats are great teachers that way. :-)
I never thought of hospitality as a sharing of power. I like that.
