Good
Why you should be more like your cats. I am often thinking about how content my cat is every time I look at him. He is marveled at the simplest thing, a bug, a twitch of a shoelace, a simple wave of my hand. How he pays close attention to the things we often miss or brush aside. Many people say cats are highly sensitive, I say they are more appreciative of the world around them. We as a society have become so under appreciative and over jealous of the word "want". We want what we cannot afford, and desire the things we know we should avoid. Out minds never seem at rest, driving ourselves into the ground trying to work only to find that once we can foord it, we are either too old to use it, or too tired to complete it. Lucky the astro cat, never worries, never frets, just content to set on the chair in the kitchen and star out at all the wondrous things God created. He delights at a simple butterfly, or a rabbit passing by, never concerned that there is a war being fought or a murder being committed somewhere in some far away city. It takes me back to when my great grandfather was just a boy. Of course harder times that's certain, and yet simpler. A child got maybe one or two toys, or fruit for Christmas, a hard days work was worth a good home cooked meal and a warm nights sleep. The word desire mean to long for something. A cat longs for a back rub, a good meal, and a warm couch to snuggle up on. He longs for a tree to scratch his nails on and a warm ray of sunshine to set in on a cool day. We as humans could take note from a cat, and learn a few rules of contentment from them. Perhaps our lives would be less violent, more simple, and offer fewer stresses. I doubt very seriously people will stop from their fast paced lifestyles to bother learning it, but we can still hope that one day they will look back on all the chaos they caused and how we as a human race ultimatly destroyed one another all in the name of progress, profit and desires. Well ponder tonight when you rub your feline companion for a moment at their simple lives, and think of your own. Food for thought.
God Bless and have a good night.
