This weather is insane. One day I am donning a sweatshirt, coat and hat and the next I am in shorts and a tank top. The weather does not seem to change how Simba spends his days. I wait to go to work while Simba waits for his next meal and playtime. Life is so difficult for a dog! He gets waited on hand and foot without a care in the world. Meanwhile, I am burdened by thoughts of finding a job, planning a wedding, and watching a family on the verge of dissolution.
People argue that dogs and other animals do not have a higher consciousness. This argument has often been used to justify eating meat. When I look in Simba's eyes I can't imagine that he does not have more than the basic animal instinct. Does Simba have thoughts other than FOOD, POO, FOOD, PLAY? Animals don't need to speak in order to understand one another. Maybe humans are just unable to understand this because we have evolved into higher life forms that do use words to convey information. Therefore, we no longer use non verbal communication and cannot conceive of the possibility that it exists and is still in play.
Just thoughts.
