Man's Best Friend

I like taking the public transport sometimes..especially the bus, or the tram..

where you can look out the window and watch passing trees, passing houses, and passing people.

It can make u think about a lot of stuff.

So I was on my way to play badminton with some friends today,

and on the bus, i passed by a field.

I saw a man playing with his dog.

It was a black dog, and they were playing with a ball.

Looking at them made me start thinking about friends throughout our lives.

If every friend was as loyal as a dog, then maybe we would live lives happier.

Dogs are loyal.

Their title "Men's best friend" doesn't come without a reason.

They don't have smart brains like ours, or maybe "complicated" is a better word to describe it.

They feel with their hearts, not their brains. Not like how we would evaluate with our brains.

They don't care if you are rich, don't care if you are poor.

As long as you treat them with all your heart, they can feel it, and they know it.

They'll be by your side when you need them, til the day they die.

they won't leave you just because you've turned old and ugly, they don't care how handsome you are.

Not like humans.

We sometimes tell people..you have to be careful when you choose friends.

Some friends can betray you and stab you at the back.

Some friends have two faces, they'll be so nice to you, and talk bad behind you too.

And i have to admit that no one is perfect, i sometimes do that too..hehe.

But i try not to. It's bad ._.

Anyway back to the topic. :P

So while you are trying to be careful when choosing friends, do u not notice that other people are looking at you and having the same thought too?

Everyone's so afraid of being cheated and so afraid of losing, lack of..hmm..what's the word..? TRUST.

Dogs don't care. They don't go like.."omg i have to be careful when choosing friends." lol..

They trust you, believing that you'll be there for them when they need you, treat them with all your heart.

Some friends take advantage of you.

Maybe you're richer, maybe you have more friends,

maybe you are hotter, maybe you are funny.

Some friends only come to you when they need your help.

and when they don't, you might be the last person on their list to call up for lunch or dinner.

Sometimes these friends won't even come to help you when you need someone in return.

But dogs or other animals won't do this. They are like your reflection.

If you treat them good, they will be good to you.

If you treat them bad, of course they will strike back.

Haha, i remember being so loving to my little hamster when i still had it,

and when i held it in my hands, he'd be so still and nice,

but when my brother tried to touch him, he bit my brother, lol!!

Cuz my brother had always tried to scare and frighten the poor thing.

So yeah, they wont go like "omg i'm hungry i need food, let's act nice and pretend that i like this person so he can give me treats". hhahaha, no they don't do that!

Only we humans do it, and we don't even realize we did it!!

We always put on fake expressions as our masks to hide our true feelings acting and pretending, so we can get what we want.

Our brains are far too complicated, calculating on how nice i should treat this person, trying to balance up on what we give and what we get in return, hiding secrets and lies so i don't "lose face" and thinking of wat good will i get if i befriend with this person.

This might be a bit harsh, but there's a Chinese description called “禽兽都不如”. It means "lower than an animal" or "worse than an animal". Are we?

Have you ever thought that..since everyone's saying that life is unfair..

Why do we have to be so bloody fair when it comes to friendship, relationship, or how we treat others? Don't you think that life would be much easier and happier if we stop waiting for wat we'll get..and start giving generously?

"What can I give to mother nature", not "i need toilet paper from the trees for my ass". XD

"What can i give to my parents", not "maybe a car for my birthday?"

"what can i give to this begger", not "OMG he stinks run away!"

"what can i give to my friend", not "hey nice shoes, can you lend me?"

We should stop thinking about ourselves, and start thinking about others.

Maybe then the world would be peaceful, no war, no terrorists.

Maybe the world would be a better place.

p.s. how did "Men's Best Friend" end up with world peace?

p.p.s. I am awesome XD HAHAHA
