The ever resourceful Conan sent me a link of a little video that highlights the friendship between a kitten and a rooster. They play together (more like the cat plays and the rooster does not do anything) and they sleep together (not shag, just sleep). What is interesting is that the cat actually seeks the rooster. It makes the effort to hang out with the poultry.
It got me thinking about human friendships, and how they are sometimes difficult. Is it because we are inherently selfish and only think of what this relation will bring us? Is it because we think too much about strategy and how we should evolve within this relationship? Is it perhaps that we are just too sensitive as creatures? Is it a trust thing? What is it exactly that complicates our interactions?
Can't we just hang out, eat, and just chill? Do we really have to think that some have ulterior motives? Why can't we just be like the cat and the rooster? Is our consciousness (in a way) killing us to the point that we are unable to just be? Is that why only children have decent friendships? And past age 10 or 11, it all just goes to hell?
Am I being too cynical here or am I justified in thinking that humans unnecessarily complicate their existence?

We tend to have more stress in our lives then cats. That complicates our relationships. Also there are givers and there are takers. That can complicate relationships.
We forget.
That's what's wrong.
You meet someone, you're not sure if it's a psycho, or a more normal kind of person.
We forget to just live. Our intellect gets in the way. We can't appreciate all we see.
And we see things the way we want to see them. Not the way they really are.

Ever read the little prince?
to running42k, of course we have more stress than a cat, but I think with time, we become more suspicious...
to mat, of course i've read the little prince! if only everyone really read that book and thought about the story, perhaps they'd stop being so... stuck-up and enclosed. One should really try to just be.
Now what? You got my link and posted to the world! GOOOSH! What is your problem!
