Let’s Make It Easier
It’s hard for people and societies to become who the God(s) intended us to be. It’s a complex process will little direct feedback. It’s also clouded by the plethora of disparate visions of just what the God(s) intended.
Becoming Who God Intended Is Hard
It seems to me that we need to make it easier for people and society to understand what leading a moral and ethical means. Rather than focusing upon what the God(s) intended us to become, people – and the world as a whole – would be better served by looking to Man’s Best Friend.
Becoming The Person Your Dog Thinks You Are Is Easier
For most people, if they concentrated on being the person that their dog already thinks that they are, almost everything else will fall into place quite naturally. Perhaps that’s even part of Natural Law, a part we’ve chosen to overlook with disturbing consistently over the last 15,000 years.
And let’s face it, there’s a solid chance that the God(s) intended each of us to be the person our dogs already think that we are.
I’ll even go so far as to posit that this may be why we have dogs. The God(s) may have provided them for just this purpose – to make it easier for us to be what we were meant to be. Of course, if this is true, then it’s equally likely that the God(s) provided cats to keep us in our place and from being too prideful. 😛

This discussion could go on for days and days.
“You, yourself, as much as anybody else in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.” ~Buddha
Before WE can love anyone for who they really are… we MUST first to learn “who we are”; and love ourselves regardless of our flaws. Then we learn to embrace the flaws and find ways they can serve us.
Before we do this for ourselves, We will tend to search for someone to Love ME to prove to ME that love is deserved.
I will be back…it is very late (4:18 a.m.)

We live different schedules, Elaine. It’s somewhat early for me since, at 4:18am (we’re not far off in time zones) I’m normally finishing my 1st cup of coffee. 😆
But yes, the discussion could ramble on for days. My only – slightly humorous – point was that if we just concentrated on being the people our dogs think that we are, we’d likely become the people that our God(s) intended for us to become.

Hmmm, I guess you can tell then, I was already off in another world “re-visiting” a memory and examining it just as I opened your article. lol
I will go back and read it “right” tomorrow…and try (lol) to remain on subject.
You must have a love for dogs that I do. I have an 8 yr old Rottie (Delilah)…anyway…before I start rambling… I’ll get some sleep and come back.

Dogs give “unconditional love” with no strings attached.
Many people GIVE in other to get; and/or to gain. They even love us when we forget to feed them; or give them the attention they deserve because we are too self absorbed. A Dog’s love is unconditional.
When a human being gives with an act that has a motive behind it — the expectation to get something back…. The giver ends up getting got!
