I thought on why I like animals cause you asked so long ago and I think it’s mostly that I like being able to contribute positively to the life of another besides myself and I don’t really care if it’s a person or an animal.
And people are proud and complicated and refuse your help and you never really know if you’re actually having a positive impact on them or not. Except like children, which I am obviously not capable of raising at the moment. And they expect you to act a certain way in exchange for getting to be important in their life. And so often I am not capable of doing what is wanted. None of that with a pet.
