Hello everyone! Happy Tuesday! I hope the year of the Fire Horse is treating you good so far.
Our year of 2026 started with animals teaching us about life be the nihilist penguin or the cute Punch.
Animals have been far more intelligent in terms of displaying acts of kindness, affection and loyalty.
A fury friend wagging itās tail when we reach home after hours of slogging hard and a feline meowing at us complaining about where weāve been throughout the day makes our too busy and too hard life a little better.
Well I think animals make our existence worthwhile. Iāve always found a sense of happiness and warmth when they approach me.
Now, since scrolling these days have been too gruesome and draining due to some elites acting and indulging on inhuman activities on the Epstein Files, a cute baby monkey seeking comfort and belonging on an orange Plushie seems like a world isnāt too bad at all.
What Iāve realised through this is that the world isnāt fair all time. We are humans with Red and White Blood Cells, two eyes, one nose and a heart that pumps the same red blood through for survival yet we are separated by races, religion, caste, creed, the colour of our skin, community and etc and etc.
We didnāt come to this earth thinking that Iāll be a Muslim or a Hindu or American or Afghan.We were labelled this and that by the society the instant we were born into.
We didnāt determine the amount of pain and happiness we would go through in this life when we were born nor did we choose our names and surnames.
Yet here we are with a certain sense of pride and prejudice because we belong to a certain country or race and because we are Homo sapiens and not animals.
Also, if I keep babbling about fairness and equality itāll take ages.Just like Punch was disowned by the other monkeys and bullied for not having someone he can call his own we will be bullied and trampled upon if we donāt find our sense of belonging.
We ourselves make fun of people who eat alone at the table, have no friends and donāt talk much.Yet, when it comes to a monkey everybody is suddenly being kind and considerate.
How better our planet Earth would be if everybody was kind to the smallest being?!I would love to live in the world where there would be food for every hungry person, a shelter for all the homeless, enough money for everyone that would stop them from begging for alms.No politics over religion and caste, no dispute between nations.
Yet what I feel is all that we crave is a sense of belonging.Why do guys cheat? Why do married people commit adultery? Why do girls seek for material pleasure is all for the same thing. We need validation to feel like we belong somewhere.
Just like the zoo keeper handed him an orange plushie to comfort him we too need something to lean on be it the fancy car you drive in, the exotic places you visit, the 10k followers you have on social media or the girl who listens to your ranting when your world is falling apart.
Now ever since he got the Plushie he has been inseparable from it, he carries it, sleeps on it and now he has been making friends with the other monkeys.So basically, inorder to be accepted you have to lean on to something a belief or a person because loneliness kills.
Not being accepted, mocked at bullied for sucks.People telling you that you are not enough, discarding you like trash like you are nothing hurts.Taking your kindness and generosity for granted hurts.Not including you because youāre different hurts.
But in this journey of life where youāre segregating between good and bad and when you donāt know where you belong if God hands you an orange plushie youāre lucky.
Someone who listened to you, supported you,paid your bills,didnāt give up on you, believed and trusted you when the world gave up on you.
Never let that Plushie go, hold on to, carry it everywhere you go, appreciate it because when the world was against you, you held on it because all you wanted was to survive and feel chosen and appreciated.
God may hand you different Plushies in life but the one which you had when you were down can never measure to them.
Thereās a saying that says, ā what we give doesnāt always return but what we give is always what we areā.
Survival comes first.Donāt quit!
With love
