Animal or Human??

Let's admit it.Haven't we all at least once in our lives thought that it might be better off to be an animal rather than a human?? For one thing they have extremely limited memory.Therefore, they actually do not remember the past.There are times when we are haunted by our past.Memories filled with guilt, sadness ,regret,disappointment,and anger are imprinted in our minds forever.They keep resurfacing when we least expect them, and we feel all those unwanted feeling all over again.But animals do not recall any of those ugly memories at all.True,they do not remember the good times as well, but in this context we are talking about the plus points of animals after all. 

Animals live completely in the present.They do not brood over the past or dream of the future.Every moment of their lives they live fully in the present.After all, isn't that what we all want?To enjoy each and every moment in life with out marring them with pictures of by gone ghosts of the past?

We have always believed that humans are the superior beings in this planet. However , there still might be a thing or two to elarn from our fellow animals. We write v voluminous books on how to be happy and live each moment to the maximum. But just a simple observation on animal behavior might  teach us just the same, if not more. So the next time you feel like drowning in a well of past memories you'd rather forget, let loose the animal in you and live in the now.
