What makes us happy? (cat-philosophy and portraits)

in cat •  7 years ago 

Hi Steemers!

Today i am kinda in a philosophic mood. Must be because of that autumn feel in the air today.

So let's talk. What is life about really? I guess it's different for everyone. The things i enjoy most are a good meal (preferably tuna), chasing butterflies out in the garden (too bad i never seem to be able to catch them), taking a nice long nap, and cuddling with my servants (they think they're my owners but they're really not...).

I've asked my housemate and fellow Persian Teun what his favorite activities are, and he seems to agree with me, although he did add 'breaking stuff' to the list ...

So for us cats, it seems to be pretty straightforward. We enjoy the simple things in life, we don't need a lot more to be happy.

It seems to be different for you humans though. You just seem to need so much stuff to make you happy... tv's, smartphones, espresso machines, makeup, designer clothing.... do you really need all that stuff??

And does it truly make you happy? My servants seem so stressed out sometimes, mostly i have no idea why, and i think sometimes they don't even know why! It might pay off to look at your cat every now and then, and see how content they are, washing themselves after a good meal, playing or just relaxing.

1 Thing worries me though. There are a lot of cats, other animals and humans in this world who cannot even afford the simple things in life. They are hunted, locked up, starved, you name it. That makes me sad sometimes...

So instead of stressing out over unimportant stuff, let's think about them a bit more....

It's a good thing we have Steemit now! All my Steempower will go to charity:
