are we really superior than dogs?
Why am i learning how to be a dog?
because i realized there are sooo many traits from dogs that i am lacking of, this time i want to use a “upside, downside” method to show you the reason why dog is my teacher.
the characteristic i want to learn from dogs
@1 limit imagination ability, focus on the present: i still have some problems with my uncontrolled mind, for example, while my brain is tired, or i am working on something super important, if there is an apple appearing on my working table, my imagination would connect it to “apple-pen” song, then i would played this song in my head for 23 seconds, then picturing myself dancing in united kindom, my next living target country.
this is terrible, because the next moment i realized i was “day-dreaming”, could be 4 minutes later. this would cause a series of harmful effect to my work because, i always forget which progress, which task i am working on, “ where the fuck am i”.
but dogs seem to have limited imagination, which can be super fantastic, because they wont be imaging if they would get a nice steak for next month, or getting kind host after 5 months.
i want to practice to control my overwhelming mind.
be themselves: they could lick their private place as long as they want at any place, or some animals could have sex in public, they could stretch their body at any place, and shake their body close to people when their body got wet.as for me, because society makes girl don’t want to have sex in public, so i cannot have sex in public. i have no problem with stretching my body in public, as i practice very often but i realized nearly no one except me stretch body in public.
have we ever want to adjust our underwear but we feel uncomfortable because we are in public ? have we ever want to scratch our itchy ass but we can’t because we are in public ?
i want to practice become like dogs, who could be more focus on themselves without worrying judgments from others.
rest at any place: of course i could sleep at any place, like when i asked nearly 100 people if they could let me sleep at their house or not, no one say yes, i have to quickly find a safe place.
but dogs seems to have the ability to sleep wherever they want, they have natural blanket and pillow on themselves. as for human, we need so mant things in order just to rest.
i want to practice to become like dogs, i could fall asleep when sitting at anywhere. sleeping on the floor.
welcome people when they come back:i have already reaped the benefit from dogs! before living in russia for 4 months, i never welcomed anyone if they return back to home, even my family. i have been always thinking “welcoming” it’s unnecessary, until i live with so many russian houses, with dogs always approach me, touch me, jumping.
in this month, i have been imitating dogs, whenever someone come back to home, i always stand up, leave my seat, and say “welcome back home” even though i am super focus on writing stories.
the result? not only i feel that people feel happy because of me, i also feel so happy. and it’s just such a small behavior…
the characteristic i DONT want to learn from dogs
only focus on eating food and sleep: i want to practice to intentionally make me feel hungry, so that i could be less addicted or rely on food. also i want to practice to sleep less, so that i could keep my brain used to “working mode”
i realized the more i sleep, the more my brain used to be sleepy
being distracted easily:i have noticed that, even though dogs are doing their most important things, sleeping and eating, they can be easily distracted.
for me i want to become a person that believe myself, even when there are so many different opinions around me
bark at “danger situation”: we dont bark like dogs, but we shout, when we feel like we are losing control, or fear is taking over us.
but in my experience, when we are in a real dangerous situation,for example, we are being kidnapped and being hit by people, the more you make noise, the more people would hit you.
when encounter dangerous situation which would harm my plan, instead of letting emotions completely controlling me, i could compare which one is the better option? emotional method or logical method??
i dont want to become a dog that i cannot manage my emotion and logic.
dont be picky about food: i am so surprised that dogs can be so picky about food often, i often share food with dogs, they smell it then walk away.
for me food, is instrument for me to keep sharing my insights and thoughts to the next generation, i dont be distracted by the amazing taste of food, especially oreo and pizza:))
soooo many people feel uncomfortable when i compare human as dogs
when i share with people that i want to become dogs, people usually keep silent or awkward, because they think they are better than animal.
however, we cant even have sex in public, we have to wear underwear to walk in the city, people being discriminated, homeless people live worse than dogs sometimes, we lose our emotions so easily.
are we really superior than dogs?
