Wish you Could be a Dog? I Don’t Blame You

For some, it might seem like a very foreign concept to yearn for an experience other than the human one that we’ve been given. That makes complete sense. There’s a lot going for our species. Naturally, via our incredibly biased perspectives, but also backed by some objectivity too, it feels like where the lucky ones to be able to inhabit a human body and think with a human mind.

But not everyone thinks that way.

Our complexity certainly makes us unique, but does it make us better, or happier?

Sometimes our ever-conscious mind becomes a hindrance and we think: it must be so simple being that dog. They aren’t concerned with paying off debt, conforming to standards, or striving to achieve more. They just exist. Their lives are simple and instinctual. Yet, just similar enough to our that we feel we can relate.

In seeking to do less, and worry less, dogs present great role models. If you’ve ever wanted to step in their shoes, I don’t blame you at all.
