Blog EntryLearn to make friends from an animalJun 14, '06 11:14 AM
for everyone
What if when you’re down,  you feel that you're nothing and be completely at your weakest.

Then to make it worse, nobody wants to be with you.  No one to talk to. That’s quite sad, right?

Out of the blue, someone comes, he only remains still but be next to you. He’s genuinely willing to share his time to accompany you. 

What would you feel?

I do believe it’s truly a great relief for your problem. It’s like one thing that could comfort you and ease your troubled thought.

 

But this kind-hearted friend is not human but merely a dog.  His name is Rony, This lovely animal has become a great teacher for me in how I could befriend someone in times of sorrow and desperation. He needs no talk since he’s mute, unable to talk. He has no solution due to his limited ability. However I could still remember the times when he approached me when I felt blue. He sat next to me and by this he calmed me down.

 

Is it great? Since human being is gifted with its ability to talk. They’re supposed to be able to become a better friend. A need for a friend has been shown by my dog. Sometimes when we’re down what we need is just someone’s presence to comfort us. That’s a friend. If dog that’s known for his faithfulness, human being could do it much better.

 

A friend would come when we’re in need of someone else’s presence.

A friend would comfort and calm us down.

A friend would be next to us in times of sorrow.

A friend would lift us up when we’re burdened by our heavy problem.

 

Dedicated to my lovely dog named Rony who passed away many years ago. His presence and the memory for his kindness remain intact in my heart.
