So Be It

It seems that many or most people are such vicious animals that they automatically assume I'm an animal. In a world and in a social reality where people act more like animals and animals act more like people and children act more like adults while adults act more like infantile children. So be it. Take me for a walk then, on a leash. bow wow. Nevermind. I'll take myself for a walk. woof woof.

Ha! I do agree that many people act like vicious animals. They also act like animals needing to mate because I took a walk the other day, as I'm going through a lot, and I was stopped so many times and hit on my ani-MEN trying to get in my pants when all I wanted was some fresh air! Good night for now! -Meghan

Love this interplay and revelation of consciousness. I agree. Love the ending ! If we could all switch places for awhile . So much to be gained in that perspective. All the best , Susan :)

I think you are quite a philosopher and think everything you think about or see or hear with intense thought and with genuine reasoning. I really like this write - all the best Daniel, Blessings, Jennifer.
