Positively Speaking: Patricia's Perspective

Honoring Our Pets and Their Unconditional Love
Pets are loved by millions of people and there is a compelling reason for that. They give us unconditional love. Our pets, especially our cats and dogs, love us no matter what mood we are in or how we are feeling. Many times our pets can pick up on our feelings empathically and they can console us and comfort us, and they are always there for us. That is something we often aspire to towards in our personal lives with the people closest to us.
Unconditional love is understanding and accepting the person even with all of their faults and foibles. This is so much easier said than done because we all have our own triggers and sensitivities. If we can look beyond the annoyances and quirks and value the steadiness, goodness, reliability and love we gain from our loved ones, as we do with our pets, we reinforce the bonds of unconditional love.
In Psychology Today Jason N. Linder, PsyD, writes in the article The 3 Reasons we Love Our Pets So Much. “Pets understand us non-verbally. They're in sync with us emotionally and aren't distracted by the words and other complexities or nuances in human relationships… they just love us no matter what's happening. We bond with pets and each other through emotion. Later in the article he writes, “Brene Brown, Sue Johnson, and Les Greenberg, among other emotion and relationship scientists, have made it absolutely clear: humans are much more emotional than we are cognitive, and pets get us and use this to connect deeply with us.”
Mahatma Gandhi said , "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”
I did not know the true meaning of our pet’s love until one was recently brought into my life. And now I know. I feel comforted, calm, accepted and it is feels so loving and healing. We need more of this, especially in today’s world.
Here’s to honoring our pets!
