WHAT HAS RAISING A CAT TEACHED ME ABOUT LIFE?

1. Acceptance and satisfaction

People (especially young people) always tend to blame, blame the situation, ask themselves empty questions to put responsibility on external factors. But cats are the opposite, "Cats fine with being cats" (roughly translated: Cats feel satisfied being cats). They have no expectations of anything happening around them and prioritize themselves first, so cats accept the workings of the world around them. This does not mean that we accept everything that happens and do nothing. In fact, cats are very strong, they can protect and protect kittens decisively and fiercely if someone tries to "infringe on their sovereignty" without their permission. Cats are calm but not emotionless!

2. Independence

In contrast to dogs, they always need love and care from their owners. Cats treat their owners like companions, a friend who, although not showing too strong affection, is enough to become a good "comrade" for "lotus". This can also become a lesson worth pondering for us, because humans are born with a desire for love from others, a desire to be recognized and accepted, and can be painful. suffering and hurt if you receive indifference and insensitivity from those around you. Through this characteristic of cats, perhaps it is time for us to rethink: Is it worth depending on others or external factors to have happiness and satisfaction?

3. Ability to focus and select problems

In general, cats are often indifferent to everything, not friendly to their owners or even other cats. Does this show that cats have no emotions, only care about themselves first and only focus on things that concern them? In fact, it is not so, according to philosopher John Gray, author of the book: "Philosopher John Gray, author of Feline Philosophy: Cat and The Meaning Of Life". meaning of life") has established that cats only really care about things that are truly worth their attention, and even if they do care, they don't express their emotions too clearly or strongly for humans to see. in addition to knowing their true feelings. This shows that cats are not influenced by external circumstances, they know how to choose issues and always maintain a neutral attitude in all situations.

On the other hand, people always tend to pay too much attention to the things around them and receive information unconsciously, which leads to the brain being overloaded and unable to focus on developing abilities. inherent. The third lesson from this cat is probably the most valuable lesson, helping people become more wise in the process of knowing, selecting and receiving information.

Although more developed than cats in all aspects of life, humans still have thoughts and perceptions that need to be improved so that individuals can develop at their best. Although cats are inferior to us in many aspects, they bring us lessons worth pondering about the path to true happiness.

The most important thing that cats teach me is how to appreciate the luck that is next to me every day. The day before that, yesterday, and today everything could still be peaceful. That peace makes us feel that precious things are taken for granted. We ignore every time the dog runs to the door to welcome us home, we yell at our loved ones for unnecessary things, we disregard our own health. But suddenly one day, what we value most turns out to not be so "natural". The sad thing in life is that only when we lose it do we realize the preciousness of something. But it's often too late.

Today I woke up happy because my children are healthy. They are safe under my roof, they feel confident enough to snuggle up to sleep. Even though their time is always short, I will be by their side forever. Even though one person's strength cannot save all the dogs and cats still wandering out there, I always do what I can.

And I hope you do the same.
