THE OTHER SIDE

Hi friends.

My greetings to all..

This is my first blog,  which i would like to address it on domestic pets.

People around the globe are very enthusiastically interested to know about pets, on how to nurture them, how to keep them as companions and lot more.

All of them (mostly) love to talk about them. They feed them as their own kids, or one of the important family members. It has become an important part of human life these days. Their mere presence is very natural and pure to the ones who are compassionate about them.

They act like your silent companions in your bad times and prevent most of the times to take toll of any bad event taking on you.

To take them for a walk, is like a refreshing change in our busy schedules, both of the pet and us.

A different set or class of people we see around, are mostly very keen on keeping animals as domestics. 

We notice them as an elite class most of the times also some mediocre people. Anyways keeping animals as pets, has been accepted and followed by any other possible class now a days.

But we find that, serving a pet is considered as equal as serving them as a parent of a child. We tend to nurture them like one of us. Loving them is an admirable thing to do! And I have absolutely no negative feedback for the ones who are in awe of them. 

The point I would like to focus on is, apart from any positive emotions of keeping an animal, there are lot negative emotions which come into play.

This has never been talked about before.

I tried to goggle it, regarding, what makes a man keep a pet. As I was very eager to have one. But I couldn't find even one.

Has our daily insecurities led us to have a such a thing around us? 

Or is it a real love for animals?

Or we want something,  which could just listen to us, without any retaliation, just because we want to be dogmatic or we lack human ears?

It could also be a sheer fear of being alone too. To avoid oneself to go into any sort of depression, or take any extreme step towards doom?

All these questions arose to me, just by my insight.

I couldn't find any answers to it easily. Anywhere I would try to search, came up with all happy ending good stories! 

I acknowledge the people who love animals really. But what I am trying to say is absolutely other side of the story. It has nothing to do with demoralising  and targeting to people who are fond of domestic animals.

But, being a professional as a doctor and with years of experience,  I have noticed people carrying pets having a very subtle ego of being a parent to an orphan (according to them)

It has varied tainted emotions behind this feeling. The ego needs more than a single pillar to make it stand up straight. This subconscious ego, this conditioning, can be a projection of your high bank balance of handling a pet. Now a days people are keeping more rare and different kinds of animals, to show everybody of their uniqueness!

Many times these people or let's address it as 'we', are more fearful, and wants to hide or cover up with something. This cover up is often shown up as affection towards a dog or a cat or any other creature.

We never try to look behind the reason of such affection. And often rate these people as very generous or benevolent or very calm and affectionate person.

But there is always a hidden door deepest, which is very difficult to be aware by onself. Often cruel i have seen people who take all their resentment on animals, fearful to vent it out on others ( with a fear of any extreme reaction, obviously)

My concern is not only relatable to animals, but also coward humans.

This meekness and timidity arises if one is lacking mere understanding of oneself or if he is avoiding to look at it.

This avoidance is not only leading towards a pervert and suppressed society but also is hazardous towards animals.

Once a believer of having a pet, now I am of the opinion that animals belong only under the beautiful sky. Where they can be, as they are! 

They need no upgradation or any sort of polishing by us.

Only human is an animal who is helpless in this universe. Rest every other creature has it's own intelligence and support from this universe.

Rather than keeping animals as treasure, one should be guilty about keeping it. In the cases of need to be treated or hospitalisation or nurturing, we have free hands, till only they need us. Rest they should be left alone always to grow themselves under the sun.

We have always restricted each other to grow, and as a result of this we have a pervert society, and now it's unnecessarily extending towards animals.

There is nothing wrong in loving them, but have we learn to love each other fully?

To love and understand of our kind keenly?

To be compassionate and a complete art of listening towards each other?

Having given our closed ones all the freedom they deserve and forgiven their mistakes?

This comes only by insight and introspection. 

Understanding emotions is a very complex phenomenon,  and it comes very slowly.

Here i would like to end up my perspective and different angle towards this topic.

I wish you all bigger ears, broader eyes and deeper vision to understand what all I portrayed.

Regards. 

With healing hug and love.❤
