In the spirit of giving back GRAHAMSVILLE, NY—What if people made a habit of looking at their lives with appreciation for the opportunities they had been given and gratitude towards the people who had inspired them along the way? Can you imagine how different the world would be if people counted their blessings and dedicated themselves to providing others with similar chances to succeed and feel worthy? John Lennon’s song, “Imagine,” asks us to envision a better world: “Imagine all the people sharing all the world,” Lennon wrote. A dog’s life I’m trying to write a column, but Aengus just wants to play. He doesn’t want to play alone, he wants his person. That would be me. Aengus is a dog. Pets give our lives another dimension. We make them our friends, our life partners, even our confidants sometimes. We care for them the way people used to care for elderly relatives. In return, they provide joyful moments, uncomplicated devotion and a sense of noble purpose. What’s more, they show us that humans don’t have a franchise on personality. Aengus has plenty of personality, but so do most pets, if you ask their owners. |
