Why we are valuable - for what we are loved
This is a train of thought about what we are loved for. Not for our actions, for our BEING.
My cat, or better, my hangover, I took only in old age (his age;)), and reluctantly. He is everything I never wanted: cat does not work. And if anything, certainly not brindle * terrified look *. And then not such an old animal. Anyway, I did that.
Well, then I had this animal, with which I could not immediately make friends when he was with us. So in the first few hours ... then he came out of his cave (he has such a Kratzhöhlbaum) and looked at me. I crawled it, and was from hour to his girlfriend, so in a meter circle around his little tree. The next day he hung on my heel ... and now I love him like a kid. No matter what he does, it's adorable.
He is completely superfluous. He has to be around (and that's really bad to get away), he has to be treated with eye ointment several times a day (he has only one eye left, and that has a defect). We can not go on long vacations because I just do not want to know him alone for long: the eye history has to be watched closely. In the short term, relatives can take over because our cat is very friendly and can be treated by everyone. It was really expensive to go through all the operations and treatments with him. And more than money, it has called for nerves and many bad emotions.
And why? For a small fur patty, which zuhaart my bed and nothing else is good for me? BECAUSE I LOVE HIM! He is friendly, but has his own mind. Gratitude? Wrong! As far as such an animal does not think, and that is completely unnecessary. I'm happy when I can put my nose in his fur and bump it.
This realization is missing from many of us: People like us and do things for us because they just like us! We may say no, we may be lethargic or uncomfortable, we may make trouble or make demands: Nevertheless, we are liked by people who really appreciate us.
We should not lose sight of that. We are just as right and important here as we are ticking.
All the best!
