Trust is built on a path of respect
All life will give out what it gets
Unique to the individual time and again
As long as no one gets physically hurt
Then there's no wrong or right way
To earn loyalty lasting the end of days
It has always been there, this idea we want all life to be free! Yet could that really ever be a possibility as everything in the universe follows some kind of pattern or rules, why should we be any different.
For those that have had children will understand that little battle we have with how much "freedom" do we give, as a responsible Adult I have my duty of care that should be taken very seriously but with a balance to let most experiences be through expression and the ability to make hard decisions.
Even if you don't have a dog or pet then how much freedom do you give yourself! Eat what you want, when you want or drink, smoke and take anything you want! Spend every penny you have or don't have borrowing more and more. This list can go on and on!
It took me a while in life to set my own boundaries and limitations, yet once I dealt with a few major ones my life has never been the same.
It's never an easy thing to do and help is always needed in finding where we stand in our own way, then having the energy to change any habits is sometimes a lifetime journey.
Many interactions have sparked these thoughts but the two that standout the most is the subject of domestication and responsibility.
I first got triggered by a homemade sign on a local gate. At first I thought it was for a lost dog but no it was the picture with an aim to blame the person that left the gate open had killed their dog. Now this is not a dog only park (we don't really have them in the uk) and do owners not carry any weight of responsibility!
I personally think it's disgusting to blame others for the lack of knowledge they had, to of either but more training in place or have it on a long lead to keep it safe.
I've been told and I'm sure I will be again and again to let the dog be a dog, all they want is freedom. Even those that say they have done their own research still think with the same attitude that I struggle to understand this
As soon as I started to read and study it came very clear that our way of living really messy with a dogs natural way of life. Everything they want to instinctively run away from we say "no don't" and everything the instinctively want to chase we say "no don't"
from nearly everything indoors we have to help them by conditioning their mind to deal with it!
This is definitely not an easy subject and I may write more to this but for now I'll just be grateful for doing my bit!
Much peace and respect

- Comment from author about the poem: We don't really know how long we will be here so somethings it just needs to be said! How else will we leave our unique print on this world. Don't be concerned with popularity and care more about this actual reality. Others will always talk about those that follow their own path, yet let those that can always keep an open heart!

Beautifully said dear Dan ❤️
I try my best and always appreciate your visit my friend
Great words Dan. Respect is everything.

It truly is my friend and really appreciate your support
that great gentle soul, Spinoza
in championing oneness
did so by advocating, temperance
above all else, even
in our utilisation of temperance
itself..!
ergo
the key component in tempering
our actions and living a balanced
life
is by first and most critically, choosing
to take accountability for ourselves
our feeling, our actions and
our responsibilities;
freedom, is a most beautiful ideal
the anchor to that we envision
as being good or innately humane
and yet
that same freedom, often comes
at a most absurd crimson price
why, because there's always those
that choose to ignorantly, selfishly
believe, their opinions and assumptions
are more important
than the responsibility thy have
to consider the greater collective!
Discipline
deemed an ugly, restrictive word
when devoid of discipline
all our rights and possibilities
lack validation or worth
just a wild abandonment style
of life, where the consequences
of thoughtless actions
are paid for by others, who choose
to do the right thing..
so yes
all our domesticated pets and animals
are meant to roam free and live
in the wild
so then, why not let them be
why get a pet
and then try give it freedom
better, to take accountability
of our guilt
admitting, that by choosing
to keep a pet
we are choosing ourselves
over that animals preferences
but
in taking accountability for our choice
we are making a promise
to provide our pets
with the very best lives
we can offer them
and so with temperance
as our mindset
we strive to find a balance
from keeping them safe
and keeping those
who interact with them, safe
teaching them, correcting
their aggressive tendencies
and thus allowing them
to experience a life, full of love
and wagging tale happiness..
lying to ourselves
and assuming everyone else
will know
how to interact with a pet
is abandoning the promise
we made to our beloved
companions in life...!
Wow...I obviously wrote well or you my friend are so spot on its amazing! I'll say a bit of both lol
Have a fantastic day my friend and I'll now be more than confident to post this as a blog onto my website.
Never sure why I doubt myself but I do and so grateful for your support and respect!
just reflecting your vibes, brother
entrust in your innate, humble vigour
'know thy self: to be worthy
of all you aspire towards in life'
let everything else, simply be
be the pebble, never the spear
ride those waves of breath and delight
'stay' strong!
