PING PONG BALL?

Some days I feel as if I am the tiny ball in the very large Ping-Pong game and other days I feel like the box the ball is contained in, controlled chaos if you will. This weekend, I was definitely the ball bouncing from one wall to the other. Sometimes finding a little surprise shortcut only to find myself back where I started. There were times when I would all at once find that the muddled chaos was even slowing down a bit, right before I was pinged really quickly back and forth over a new wave of what appeared to be racking up the points, only to realize moments later. I wasn’t really going anywhere. This is the definition of insanity. Which I came close to on several occasions this weekend. I found myself slammed over and over to no avail of that blasted Ping-Pong board, the constant ding, ding, ding of the “perceived win” driving me to madness. Even now, I can hear the ball hitting a nonexistent score, causing me to cringe in the process.

I feel as if while I began the weekend with high hopes for the days ahead. It ended the same way it began, so in a way. I went nowhere, and did absolutely nothing productive. Over the next few days I may feel the same but who knows maybe the dark cloud that has chosen to set up residence over me will have mercy and only last a couple of days, All I know right now is that I am tired of being the ball that gets kicked around. How bout you?

ANIMAL SPEAK

I was watching something on YouTube tonight where this couple owns not only a pet Cheetah but a pet Puma as well. They were not US where I am they also didn’t speak English. It may have been somewhere like Russia. I don’t know but they spoke in another language and the animals responded to what they said. This got me thinking… Are animals universal when it comes to language? If so why haven’t we learned to be unbiased as they are? Are the animals actually smarter than us?

What I mean by this no offense is Animals don’t care about the color of your skin. They don’t care who you voted for in the last election. They don’t care what language you speak, what country your from. Only that you show them love and affection. They care about the basics where to eat, where to sleep, where to poop. The bonus is that they get to love on someone who will in turn show them love in return. In this respect they seem to be far superior to us mere humans that seem to get butt hurt over everything and anything these days,

So, I just thought I would write down this little thought. As I find it fascinating and a little mind blowing that these great cats could understand the lady in the video. I get that if they are raised around the language it might be what they understand, Yet, it hit me in such a way that animals really are universal. They strip it down to the necessities and show you what is really important, what really matters. I wish more of us could be like these great cats.

Until next time when we get real!
