Dog's life !!

What is this life full of care,
there is no time to stand and stare

These are the famous lines of a poet and a poem whose names I don’t quite remember. But, the point is that it makes so much sense. Look at us either we are talking or eating or working. There is no time to sit and stare at the wall in front of you or enjoy the small pleasures in life.

I feel animals and birds live their lives in a much better approach as compared to us, humans. Take for example pigeons. Pigeons in my locality have their grains from Kalpana auntie’s house and water from my flower pots. Besides shitting on the cars they don’t have any thing else to do throughout the day. Isn’t it a wonderful life!

As for a stray dog; all it does is hunt for food in the day and look for a companion in the night. Sometimes he is lucky enough to get both but sometimes he has to be satisfied without any of them. And more importantly, in that process he doesn’t carry any baggage of the past or any expectation from the future. No remorse at snatching someone else’s food and no self pity on being denied his share of food. Live each day as it comes.

You know where majority of men who lead such lives are – in the jail. I don’t know what sort of behavior I am encouraging.

Honestly, I think when god made us, he expected to live just like animals and birds did. By mistake he gave us brains and since then problems have been never ending. The world has become too complex a system to understand.
