why Cats don’t suffer
The only time we really suffer is when we’re very very hungry, but any cat who owns a family doesn’t ever get that hungry, and street cats - well the smart ones get along.
Want to know why we don’t suffer? Because we don’t resist. Resisting is what causes suffering, and resistance is generated in our minds, so suffering is really mind generated and hasn’t got much to do with external circumstances. How does that work? well if we’re tired - we go to sleep. And when we’re up we’re up. If we’re hungry we walk over to our bowl and eat, and when we’re full we stop. If a dog starts chasing us and barking at us we either stop, stare him in the eye and hiss (which confuses him and makes go away) or climb a tree (which really drives it crazy). Either way - within a minute th crisis is behind us. Gone. We don’t obsess about it, worry about the next time or fall in love with our victimness. We took care of it. Its over.
I know i’ve said it before, and at the risk of repeating myself - Ahhh, if only humans were half as smart as we are!!
