Some times I want to be the cat.
Cos even cats get more affection and pats in 1 day than I've received in my entire life thus far.
Such is life…for men.

Ive gotta stop questioning why when confronted with things i need to do. Its hard because the uestion keeps popping up to pester me. Why are you doing that you know you dont care and nothing matters… its crippling. I tried really hars today to say to myself, " i dont know why now and i may never be able to know but i know that doing these things are good for my body or for my happiness or whatever and contemplating isnt helping anything." Its hard because the question why doesnt like that answer at all. It questions even this process of trying to improve in some way. Why well i say why not voice shut tf up and go away you make me misserable i dont need to know everything to be happy.

I believe this example looks much different for the undomesticated cat. If you have the luxury of dependency than this lifestyle is an option. Unfortunately if adopted by all or just the majority the system colapses. A few can eat for free at the potluck but if all take the zero effort approach I don’t believe the emotions are one of peace a tranquility.

I’m always alone and I hate being alone, which is weird for someone so introverted. I think I’m alone because I wasn’t born lucky enough to not grow up in Iowa. I feel I will never be able to live somewhere better. Sticking it out here makes me feel hopeless. I go to work and go home, I don’t talk to my family, I have no friends, I barely leave my house. Every relationship I’ve had has failed because of me

Two months later, with a mix of watching these, reading Jung like I usually would with practice of meditation and mindfulness alongside exercise and good eating I can confirm the less you seek the more you find, you FIND things and can accept them change your situation when you SEEK you're practically forcing something that ends in burnout half the time.

Hi. Animals measure time by how full or empty their stomachs are. Their behaviour varies accordingly. When my cat NEEDS food, it gets instinctively hyperactive, as if it was preparing to hunt. It creeps then pounces, attacks the curtains and furniture and makes a pest of itself. When puss merely wants to see what's available it sits by its food bowl and tries to look needy. Dogs especially have learned how to manipulate our instincts.
I would not advise letting a cat be your philosophical role model, because this video doesn't register the most important parts of cat behaviour. Anyone who ignores this advice will be taken to the Vet Clinic and neutered. You have been warned. Cheers, P.R.😄

Sometimes this lifestyle is an excuse for laziness and timidity. Live it for the right reasons, not as a pretext.

What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
This poem is in the public domain.
