Pets are your companion for every mood.
Pets are your companion for every mood.
“You know what I like most about people? Pets.”
-Jarod Kintz.
It all starts with a younger version of you walking down the street encountering a puppy lying all by itself and out of curiosity with also a little mix of excitement you begin to play with it and that’s the moment you realize you would give anything to have this little bundle of joy as a companion. This is when you nag your parents to get you a pet and when they do, it is easily one the best things you’ve owned. For someone who can’t communicate except in monotonous noises, having him provide to you that unconditional support by literally being there for you and make you feel better by just their innocence and over joyous persona whenever you need, is primarily what differentiates us humans from animals. Perhaps this is where we really fall back on. As we grow elder, we become so busy in our daily lives and unknowingly become self centered and greedy to satisfy our own materialistic demands that we sometimes fail to acknowledge someone’s presence in our life and when the same happens to us, we accept it as a part of life and move on, in search of a new, temporary companion. This is why any pet is the ideal companion for us as they are neither ever busy, nor selfish to spend time with us and devote their life in entertaining and being there for us, which is why after the death of a let, the grief leaves a permanent void in his master’s heart. The risk of ever feeling left out and lonely almost does not exist when in company of a pet, as just by playing with them and remaining active, they play a part of a sibling, parent, friend and much more. All your gloominess vanishes away when knowing you have your pet beside you, also as emotional and sensitive as you. Some people even converse with their pets which could also be a means of opening up and most pets prove to be better listeners than humans anyway. It’s only when you have a pet that you might really rediscover this sense of purpose, that does not let you remain isolated for long, that helps you keep in mind that your constant attention is needed, wanted by someone at all times, that there is someone guarding your house and who will stand by whatever his master tells him to do, whenever he tells him to do it. Developing a relationship with your pet can be the most beautiful and calming thing for your mind, body and soul, amidst the fast paced human life. A relationship that increases the longetivity of your life, reduces any traces of high blood pressure, instantly changes your living style, minimalize any sort of depression or past anxiety to an extreme, a relationship that does so much for you in ways even you couldn’t have imagined in, and in return for not judging you based various unnecessary criteria only asks for your presence is an enviable position to be in.
You know how they say our perfect companions have no fewer than four feet? They’re right.
