I have often thought we should be more like a cat or dog. They ask unashamedly for what they want. A pat pat. A belly rub. Food. But at the same time they have a quiet, dignified independence about them.
My cat Buddy is the epitome of independence. He accepts affection when he feels like it. Yet expects you to give it upon demand. Never takes no for an answer.
How often in life, unlike Buddy, do we give up when faced with a no? Shouldn't we ask for what we want? Strive to be independently who we are? Live life on our terms? Perhaps we should be more like Buddy.
