なぜ私たちは傷つけてきた人を愛し続けるのか (Why We Can't Stop Loving Those Who Hurt Us)
- But for others among us, this is when we begin to show our distinctive colours. Hope springs eternal. Yes, the partner may presently be somewhat disappointing, but soon they may recover. Admittedly, they have become hugely unkind in many ways, but they did apologise nicely last week, before repeating their offence, and so there is a decent chance, we believe, that things will be on an upswing over the longer term. To outside observers, the faith that we have in our partner can appear quasi-religious. Why do we keep giving our unreliable companion so much leeway? Why do we hope against hope? Why don't we cut our losses right now and leave? Why are we so convinced that with just a little more effort on our part, one more discussion, one more long email sent in the early hours, everything will alter? Furthermore, perhaps why do we keep assuming that we have done something wrong and that it is primarily our role to apologise and make amends? The explanation is that we grew into hopeful people not by choice, but of necessity. We almost certainly spent our childhoods in circumstances where we had no option but to become enormous believers in our parents and, simultaneously, enormous doubters of ourselves. When little, we couldn't afford to think that our parents were simply disappointing, wounded people with whom we shouldn't interact too much and then walk away. We were four years old. So we did what children of unfulfilling parents always do. We started to think ill of ourselves. We developed a genius for wondering what was wrong with us and for assembling complicated and overly generous explanations for the bad behaviour of others. We evolved an expectant stance towards whatever morsel of love our parent might throw our way. We became excited by deprivation. All day they might have been ill-tempered and cruel to us. Perhaps at nightfall, they might say something sweet and ruffle our hair. This became the most exciting and appalling game of our lives. As adults, we continue to be addicted to this tension. It has come to seem that this is what love is, the pain-tinged, continuous expectation that an unfulfilling person might abruptly turn round and be nice to us again. Love is waiting for someone who was once slightly kind to resume their interest. It doesn't strike us that love might actually be something quite different, simpler and less tortured. An ongoing, reliable exchange of mutually respectful sympathy and gentleness. And if it's not this, that we should leave at once. Indeed, if we have the troubled fortune to meet a reliable soul, we will probably respond to them with a feeling of nausea and bewilderment and flee in short order. Perhaps back to the last unfulfilling partner. The toll we pay in terms of wasted years is lamentable. Whereas others among us can enjoy calm, kindly relationships, we will get locked into exhausting scenarios with perturbed individuals who very subtly mess us around, who say one thing and do another, who don't give us physical affection or blow hot and cold, who may be having affairs and keep promising to change and don't. And the worst is that for all our suffering, this somehow excites us, this keeps us on our toes, this feels like what we need to keep doing. We know nothing else. We have to start to believe what our childhoods never allowed us to think. Some people need to be given up on. Certain seemingly ordinary and good people are in fact very damaged and will hurt and bully those around them. Some people with a few lovely qualities to them will, considered in the round, work an entirely negative effect on our lives. It's not our role to keep second-guessing unfulfilling people, to spin elaborate stories as to why they may be doing what they do.
しかし、私たちの中の他の人たちにとっては、この時期が私たちの特徴的な色を見せ始めるときなのだ。希望は永遠に湧いてくる。そう、今のところパートナーは多少がっかりしているかもしれないが、すぐに立ち直るかもしれない。確かに、相手は多くの点で非常に不親切になったが、先週はきちんと謝ったし、また同じことを繰り返す前に謝った。私たちのパートナーに対する信頼は、外部から見ると宗教的なものに見えるかもしれない。なぜ私たちは、頼りない伴侶にこれほど自由を与え続けるのだろうか？なぜ希望に反して希望を抱くのか？なぜ今すぐにでも

エピソード4：可愛すぎるラッコたち (Episode 4: They Are Otterly Adorable)
- The issue that we had at that time was there was not really any more room at the inn for for a lack of a better way of expressing that the Monterey folks work with the the Association of Zoos and Aquariums they have a group that specializes on kind of knowing everything there is to know about sea otters and and which facilities might have space to accept not only space but also expertise to accept very young sea otter pups and when Cruz abandoned was and when Cruz was was recovered there were really no more opportunities to place and so he was when the when the stranding folks get to that situation their their only choice at that point is humane euthanasia if there's not a space in the surrogacy program there's not a space at an accredited facility then the most humane thing to do at that point is to is to put that that pup down unfortunately which makes you know it's it's hard to wrap your mind around that this is a threatened species why could you do that but it's it's it is the most responsible thing to do we had staff out there caring for Bixby at the time and I got a phone call late it's like they just came up there's another young pup it's a male male sea otters are a little bit more they take a little bit more ingenuity I guess and and they're a bit more of a challenge to manage sometimes and so there we have to be careful with the the dynamic that we have in terms of the number of males and females that we would manage here with our with our exhibit but we made the choice at that time that you know this animal was was destined to be put down to be euthanized and you know we had our hands full with with two sea otters that we had that we were taking on already but we made the choice to to extend and do we do we did there and and and save that little sea otter and brought him back with Bixby on a private plane and and it never looked back he's he's an amazing amazing animal that we've learned a lot from well Dennis I'm not gonna lie you know through throughout that story you just told I'm kind of hearing some some Sarah McLaughlin in the background this kind of has that is there that SPCA kind of commercial vibe to it I mean when you think about these animals there they are undeniably probably one of the most adorable species not just here at the aquarium but but on the planet but when you hear about how much that they're going through you know hear about habitat loss when you hear about that how difficult the you know rehab and rehabilitation you know process is for them it's a lot different than like a California sea lion that can go out into a group and basically learn from the group so it seems like these animals have a lot kind of going against them yes but it's really cool to know that there's actually a whole bunch of people ourselves included that care very much about these critters and especially in that story just there when when the alternative was you know the animal not being here anymore that the decision was made to to prolong that animals life and now he's you know a private plane to Atlanta and now live in the suite life here in the cold water quest gallery I mean that's that's very much a positive so so what can our listeners with all of that being said what is one positive impact that our our listeners and our visitors can can have on southern sea otters well what is a you know one or a couple things that can you know kind of help this species out that any any person can can do yeah that's a great question Josh and that's something that's really a powerful message for us when we have these sea otters here in Atlanta they they're viewable visible to millions of guests every year and there are they are as I've said a very powerful conservation kind of case and the message is very simple and it's something that you hear a lot you know everybody has a role to play our goal here is is to inspire people to care about these animals we obviously care about them we want to do everything possible to make sure that these are animals that that that live for generations you know with without impact based on our activities but the honest truth is our activities have an impact on these animals and with the case of the southern sea otter there's a there's a number of things unfortunately these are animals that are succumbing or being exposed more and more to runoff related to agricultural runoff but also curiously they're very susceptible to a parasite called toxoplasmosis if you you might know of it through it's it's one of the reasons that if you're an expect it's one of the reasons that if you're an expectant mother you're not supposed to change or tend to your cat's litter box it's a it's a parasite that is is transmissible through cat feces and so what we're seeing is sea otters are coming up with this toxoplasmosis they're exposed to this toxoplasma and that's that's having an issue on that creates a lot of neurological issues for them they just they're not equipped to handle it and so we're seeing issues with people poorly or improperly disposing of their their pet waste essentially it's creating an issue for them probably related somewhat to just the population of that exists along that same coastline the number of cats number of pets feral or otherwise and and so that's an issue but also marine debris these are animals that are very curious and they they're they're actually one of the few species actually that use tools to to to help their efforts in getting into the hard-shelled invertebrates that they eat they'll go down and bring up a clam but also bring up a rock and smash the clam against the rock but they use other things and they're very curious in their environment and so when they're people are using a lot of single-use plastic bags those tend to unfortunately end up in the ocean and these are animals that there's there's animals that are you know photographed with bags on their head you know essentially not surviving that sort of interaction with with marine debris and so just being careful of what we're utilizing in our day-to-day lives trying to take every effort to use things that are more and are less likely to end up in the ocean and end up being an issue for these animals and the other animals that live in the marine environment so basically if you live in California or are visiting the coast of California just pick up after yourself and pick up after your pet and that can actually make a world of difference to these animals to these animals but but also again everybody has a role to play you know every every stream leads to the ocean and so even though we're hundreds of miles away from the ocean guests or residents of Atlanta have have a role to play too because it's not just a sea otter it's a sea turtle it's it's you know whales that are that are washing up with stomachs full of plus of single-use plastics sea otters or sorry sea turtles that are watching up with straws up there up their nose and things like that so lots of lots of decisions that people have to make in their day-to-day lives but understanding that you know just cutting back helps it makes a big difference right all good very very very good points there so Dennis thank you very much I've learned a way more about these animals than I worked here for almost seven years now and I learned a lot today about these incredible critters so before you go you do as we mentioned in the very beginning you do care for all of the adorable critters here at the aquarium out of all of them all those species and it honestly it might be the sea otter but what is your what's your favorite put me on the spot what is your favorite it's like you don't have a favorite child you know you can't answer yeah but you kind of do you got to do the honest answer is it probably depends on the day I find I just like a child just like a child it depends on what's what's going on you know right right now to be honest with you as a sitting here we have five little pufflings that have been hatched over the last last couple weeks and I'd say I'm kind of infatuated with watching my phone or little nest cams watching these little puffballs grow so quickly so I'm definitely into that sea otters are always a favorite anybody that maybe watched this watch the show or knows me knows that I'm a fan of our harbor seals and Rose our little female specifically is one that always gets me I spend time every day saying hi to her for sure she is adorable she's adorable yeah so didn't really answer your question it's okay nobody really has because everyone everyone's trying to yeah we have a lot of incredible animals here it's really it's really hard to favorite animals I've ever worked with is helping the OV team with with the manta rays behind us here just I mean they're all they're all very very they get to me yeah I mean this is a you know it's this is a very special place and obviously over 17 years you've been a huge part of this aquariums history and you've you know dedicated your life in the past 17 years of your life to to these to these incredible animals while you know having a family of you have your own kids and things like that that you're caring for so you're taking care of actually I just learned that puffling is a word unless you made that up nope that is the actual scientific term baby puff baby puffin a puffin chick is a puffling that's the cutest thing on the planet pretty sure you got that from Harry Potter but that's fine nope so with all of that with 17 years of history at this facility I'm gonna put you on the spot again what's your favorite memory of this place my favorite memory yeah favorite experience favorites just what flooding yeah there was a flood no no just the memories are oh okay good I was gonna say well that would be memorable honestly actually you know some of these transports you know being able to to go out in the field and be able to you know work with these animals and bring them back here and the the planning and all the expertise and just you know just takes a lot to pull that off and being in the role that I am or that that's my responsibility it's it's to see that kind of happen and the animals come here and they make it into the into the into the habitats and seeing them you know thrive is all the memories kind of flood back to those moments so with respect to you know maybe the last sea otter transport was probably one of them and it was you know nice you know to get sea otters to Atlanta from California you have to you know there's a lot that goes into moving them they have to stay cold we've learned that the best way is just to charter a private plane so it's a sounds a little bougie I guess but it is for their own best interest we can get get a sea otter pup here in a couple of hours from the coast of California which is which is what what they need and so the last time when we were moving Gibson and Mara it was a beautiful plane I was I felt kind of bad because we were like moving all these like wet things and chests of ice on this plane that I once we were in the air I learned the charter before us I don't know if I'm allowed to say this or not but it was Bruno Mars was taken to to Hawaii in that same plane so just a little bit uh so it was it was Bruno Mars's plane and it wasn't it wasn't Taylor Swift's no nice because in a previous episode we talked to Andy from the the sea lion team but I remember from all the old footage you were a part of yeah those those guys coming here so as the listeners know I started my career at Georgia Aquarium here in Atlanta with our sea lion team so all the little guys that I cared for when I first started back in 2016 here were all animals that literally you had just brought from California months before yeah yeah we could sit here for a couple hours just talking about animal transports and things like that yeah for sure but yeah Neptune and Jupiter were animals that I brought back I remember seeing Andy at the facility where those animals were being housed at the time he was here so he's in the same footage in a different role but yeah very cool well I mean I think now I think we have a reason for you to come back I think that we could have a part two to talk all about good transports you've done great today so Dennis thank you so much for joining us today and yeah thank you all for listening in we'll see you next time
そのとき私たちが抱えていた問題は、これ以上部屋がないということだった。うまく表現できないが、モントレーの人々は動物園水族館協会（Association of Zoos and Aquariums）と協力し、ラッコについて何でも知っていて、どの施設に受け入れるスペースがあるかだけでなく、幼いラッコの仔を受け入れる専門知識があるかについても専門的に研究しているグループがある。クルーズが遺棄されたとき、そしてクルーズが保護されたとき、ラッコの幼い仔を受け入れるスペースがあるだけでなく、専門的な知識も必要だった。
