Contemplating the world of animals.

I have always believed that we aren't there are worlds within this world that are totally different from the world we perceive. The human world is that which we find ourselves in, the spirit world which isn't comprehensible by our five senses, and then then animal world which resides within our world, but is perceived in a different way. I bet animals perceive the world in a totally different way than humans, this makes their world totally different from ours.

We've all wished we had superpowers as kids. One of the superpowers I wished I had was to be able to hear animals talk. To hear their opinion about things abs generally have an insight about their world. I have imagined what the world would be like if animals and humans had a better means of communication or at the very least if there were some kind of interpreter that relays messages from animals to humans and from humans to animals. The barking of dogs, the hissing of snakes, the chirping of birds, the croaking of frogs and the crowing of roosters aren't just mere sounds they feel like making. What if when that bird perches on your window, whilst chirping endlessly is actually trying to tell you something that is important to you? Perhaps something that will happen in the future but because you can't understand it, you end up not being able to decipher. What if that pet dog of yours barking in the night actually saw something that you didn't see and is trying to tell you? What if snakes, lions, and other wild animals we think are dangerous and harmful as a result of our perception aren't really so? Have you stopped to wonder whether a lion would leave you alone if you could speak to it and understand it?

I have heard that no matter how hungry a lion is, he would never it a newborn. If that's true then there's a reason for that. That might mean that like humans they have values and beliefs they strictly adhere to, and those values won't let them do such a thing. If they have values that means that means they live life with certain rules. Maybe animals aren't as random as we see them to be. The fact that all they do is eat and drink to maintain their existence, mate together to ensure continuity of species, move in groups to establish a sense of togetherness of leadership and followers hip doesn't make them random creatures, maybe that makes their life simple and are doing only what is required of them by nature. Come to think of it, if humans were to do only that required of them by nature, wouldn't things be much more simpler? If we do things that are needed rather than things that are wanted, if we get rid of all the hate, jealousy, envy, and other despicable qualities that aren't needed, those qualities that spring up from our own selfish desires, the world would have been a much better place. Don't you think?

This brings us yet another question. What if they do not have to talk for us to understand things from them? Yes, they do not have to. At least those animals who live around us have lessons to teach us when we look close at their lives. This is what got me interested in the life of animals in the first place, making me wish I could have a deeper insight into their lives by hearing and understanding what language they actually speak.

God created everything for man...including animals. Man things that by this it means that He created animals for man's consumption, but forget that he also created for us to learn the simplicity of life..just like it's meant to be. Same goes for plants too and other natural bodies. There's always something to teach you if you pay close attention.

Thanks for reading.

Yours Layly,

❤❤❤❤❤

The thing about the lion not eating a newborn is new to me. They do have values if that is true.

Yes they do. I bet they have a good reason for not doing that, from an animal's point of view.

I want to know their feelings from time to time. But sadly we were not given that feeling.

We can only try our best, maybe someday as someone just commented, science would do something about it.

How I wish that too... They are living things too. We should treat them with respect.

I've always wished the same. I actually think they do try to talk to us, but we just don't understand. Maybe someday, science will show us a way

Yes, they talk with us through their expressions and only those can understand who are very close to their pets. I have my dog and I understand everything he says.

That's good. Not everyone understands even the pets they keep. Keeping an animal is like a commitment too.

I am sure that we will ahve better world when we can communicate with animals. I am sure that they also want to tell us something. Especially now that we are slowly destroying their habitats.

It's sad indeed. Our lack of consideration for animal life isn't helping. I bet if our roles would be reversed they wouldn't treat us the way we treat them.

My dear friend, you said very nice. What if we could understand the words and sounds of the animals, they certainly had a lot to say to us.

Yes they do. We can still try our best to understand them.

There is truly so much about the world that we do not understand. It is interesting you broke it down the way you did, speaking of the spirit world we cannot fully understand, and also the animal world and the lessons we can learn if we only could tune in. I love this. Have a great day!

I have pets and I feel like they want us to understand them. Their looks and expressions say so. They have feelings too.

They do and we should try our best to understand them. Everyone wants to be understood, animals included

I am sure animals have a lot to say to us humans if they could. And I bieve if that were possible, we could both learn greatly from communicating with each other

That is exactly what I am wishing for that animals could talk, they could express things in their inner self. Why are humans making things worst about them huhu.

Hehehe you bet. Humans always have the habit of depicting things in their worse form all we have to do is look closely.

Now that you mentioned it, what if so? Imagine been able to chat with your cat? I actually believe these animals know a lot of things that would enrich our lives if we could talk to them

I have a similar belief. I still try to learn from them whenever I can.

I have also wondered about a world where animals could talk to humans and vice versa.. I guess I'm not the only one with such a tall imagination. Lol..... Even seen countless if movies where such a world is depicted
