You tell me what you think? I know I have the first line of the poem by D.H.Lawrence as my signature but is it really true?
We, humans, are wild things and we feel sorry for ourselves. But D.H.Lawrence is talking about other species to humans. He talks about that he never saw a bird fall off of a branch and feel sorry for itself. Of course we all know that he means that they just carry on with life no matter what. That is because they don't have a choice. But do we know how they are feeling?
My dogs are wild, they are animals and they have feelings. If ever my pup doesn't get his own way, he runs off, grabs a toy in his mouth and makes a noise like 'Wooo WooooWoooo.' It is really funny to hear but it is definitely his way of saying that it's okay but realises he didn't get his own way.
When my Sasha was in pain with the tumor in her leg and she was dying, she lay beside me and cried under her breath. Very quietly but I could hear her. Was she feeling sorry for herself? What do you think? Although I use this line as my signature I wonder if it is really true. What is your experience with animals, or have you ever encountered an animal feeling sorry for itself?
