Have you ever thought about what it would be like to be a different kind of animal? I think that humans have many, if not most, of the same instincts and feelings that other animals have. For example: love for and commitment to family and friends, pride, pain, memory, problem solving, reasoning, desires, emotion...

Hi. Yeah, Ive actually thought of that topic once or twice sometime ago. I imagined what it would be like to be a dog or a cat or even a meerkat!LOL^_^ But seriously I agree with you. Like in the meerkat case. They are so close to their group and family. Always lookign out for each othr while the other forages. Always cleaning in groups. Having to get the choice between staying behind with the new kittens(?) or having to go with the whole group to look for a more safer burrow. Ive imagined what it is to look with the eyes of a snake and a fly. The snake have different colors and vibrations in the eyes and the fly just has more eyes than you could imagine. Ive done this a thousand times and it really makes me think and imagine. Anyways, thanks for bringing this up.^_^

Yes, there is no doubt in my mind that animals have the beginnings of human thought and logic. Animals love to play and Many Love a new and different diet. Its no wonder that Humans bond with their pets! As I plant my garden, I send the seeds Love to encourage them to grow tall, strong and vibrant. Plants respond well to empathy. I tell them to grow Healthy and bountiful so as to grace my dinner table. You cannot offend a plant by telling them how much you desire them for food. (its silly to lie to a plant) When in your gardem, let your emotions have free reign. Let the Veggies know How beautiful they are, and how delightful they will look in your salad bowl!
