Human Pets

The difference between a Human and a Pet is desire combined with foresight of the future. 

I find myself having issues with relationships. Why, if I knew I would be a more satisfied man. I realize that we all have our own definitions and standards of relationships; whether they are family, marital; friendships, platonic, or sexual. People spend most of their time trying to follow rules that are forever changing and based on realities made up in the individuals mind.
We jump through hoops in hoping to please others in the desired relationship not realizing that since people change so do the hoops they want you to jump through. Funny part is we get so accustom to the game we forget we are playing, and jumping through hoops becomes like riding a bike, something we may not do all the time but when necessary it is second nature.

Some of the most desired traits in a partner or friends are loyalty and companionship. Someone we can have fun with and someone who will listen, someone who trust you and listen to you. Someone you enjoy taking care of who is willing to be around when you want them to be. We all know that, and we do our best to be that someone we want for ourselves.

My realization is those characteristics are no different than having a good pet. We wonder why so many of us when together for a while lose the spark that was once present. That is so; due mainly to the fact, the views we have of the people we become once we decide to be with our lifelong companion require us to lose our souls, becoming a lot like the pets we desire to have and now have become.  We engage in activities that have now become routine like a revolving door, like pets that look to eat, use the bathroom and play all on a schedule.  We now have taken what seems to be the last significant step in our lives belittling the foresight we once had.

We fall in love with what we see, what can be done for us and what we do for others. How much of what we do is really based on how we feel for each other? How much of what we is really based on the best interest for both parties? We do what we think that particular type of person (normally by our own standard) would want to do or deal with instead of growing with that particular person. Yes, we are all human. Yes, we all are men or women; but we are only one man or woman. We are not pets; do not become one and get out of the habit of treating an individual like a pet or a group. We are all persons, individuals who have a view of the future. If you are lucky enough to find someone who is a part of that future or will help you attain your desired future, honor that relationship for there will not be another like it.
