However, I have this dream. In it, such a thing as Karma exists. Somewhere out there, is a Life Value Accountant that is actually paying attention to how well I live my life. I am not judged, quality-wise, by what some religion or culture thinks I should be judge by. That wouldn't make sense. The idea that we know what He (aka The Big Guy or God or whatever) wants from us is just to ridiculousness for me to give much credence to. For example, priests molest little boys but they must remain celibate as a tribute to their dedication to God. Before I go that route, God better tap me on the shoulder and say "We need to have a chat."
Anyway, I digress. Back to my dream.
In this dream, I have somehow stumbled upon what those being-that-judge find to be a well lived life. As a reward, I get to be reincarnated as a dog. Why a dog? Because it is the next logical step up the evolutionary ladder of awareness and healthy emotional behaviors.
Take my dog for example. He loves me unconditionally. He thinks nothing but good thoughts about me. He would sacrifice anything in his life if it meant that it would make my life just a tiny bit better. He is quick to forgive and is always there when I need him.
I wish I could be the person my dog thinks I am. However, if i am good, then maybe, I can become the dog I think he is.
Here is a picture of my wife, Erika, and my dog, Bosley. He is a Bouvier de Flandra.

Interesting post. I like your views.
ReplyDeleteLast night, I dreamed I was a man. Haha! I guess I'm not the only one who gets weird dreams. Although I'd much rather be a dog.
Have you read "The Art of Racing in the Rain"? Good story, written from a dog's perspective.
