Animalistic approach to the concept of love.

Animals and humans share unique bonds.

It is not the same bond amongst humans — Animals are the true unconditional lovers

Animals deserve love too.

You will instantly fall in love with the process of being responsible to nurture and watch a life grow by your hands and in return, this life growing by your hands gives you unconditional and irreplaceable love.

My dog’s name is Tom. I share a bond so real with him, so I gave him a part of my name.

I am sad and he comes to sit with me, he looks straight into my eyes and can tell I have a lot to say. Oh well! He doesn’t speak, at least he could feel, that’s all that really mattered.

He gives me several eye contacts and I could see the emotions in those small sorry eyes. He then relaxes on my body and forms into a state of dependency.

Tired of sitting on a spot for 30minutes already in a sad state with a heavy mind, I badly needed to clear my head so I got up to go for a walk, Tom wags his tail happily.

Is that not a message? How am I just figuring out? I want to be happy and my dog wants that for me too!

What truly bothered me was how he knew what I needed to feel relaxed and happy again, so he wags his tail in agreement to my choice of finding clarity.

You can decide your own experience for real. Either get consumed in your own thoughts or choose to find peace and clarity.

All my dog was saying is get up, do not try to stay down!

He communicates his feelings whenever he’s happy, sad or even angry, regardless of his limitations in communication.

Why shouldn’t I expect more from humans who have more capacity to communicate but every time, it is always the other way round.

I could forget to feed him because I’m sad, and he’ll understand and still wag his tail when I finally get up to do so, what a great act of forgiveness!

He automatically senses danger and is triggered to protect me because inwardly he’s a protector and he got my back every time, he can then be called a brother!

I often cross his path, might even push him to his limit but he’ll never strike first, he doesn’t even keep grudge.

He sees himself as family and automatically shares emotional bond with everyone around me. What a love so real!

Why can’t humans learn from animals?

So much to learn from this creatures yet we do not feel they matter or their opinion counts, all because they cannot speak.

Humans naturally contest against ego, consciously or unconsciously while animals just want to be loved and treated right which in the ideal case should be the pattern in the human society.

It is only when we think of love first before any other thing talk more of ego that life will get better for all.

I’ll write on “Music is my best friend” in my next article.
