"Arf! Arf! Arf!"

I wonder how blissful ignorance can be. 

While I was still working, after doing all the things I could possibly do in a day, I stop for a moment, look for my dog, and watch him do the lord’s work.  All he knows is lie anywhere and sleep for the whole day—just that!  He doesn’t eat much, he doesn’t bark often.  (I bet he has only barked 20 times for his damned life.)  Basically, his everyday goal is to be a trash on the floor.  And no, he is not sick.  He has been like that ever since we got him.  

I used to ponder on how he thinks and feels toward life, toward his.  Does he feel completely happy with how he spends his day?  Or does he want more to his life than just lie around?  Because if you get see him, he really seems fully contented.

Now, being off from the corporate world, I realized, I have become my own dog.  I am the one to throw those questions at.  I wake up everyday most likely goal-less, spend my day just ‘cause.  Worse, I am not doing anything yet to pass through this limbo.  Would you consider me lazy?  I don’t want to know.
 
Okay, my dog and I may have the same lives.  We both love to roll ourselves into a “relaxness”.  The only thing that makes me different from him is that I am not an ignorant fool.  And guess what?  That “only thing” blows every blissfulness off my life!  My conscience incessantly pricks me and tells me to make something good out of my days and out of my life, i.e. get a job, or else… [honestly, I don’t want to know the consequences myself, so let’s just leave this phrase hanging.] 

Well, I wish one day I will learn how blissful ignorance can be.  But then, I don’t want to be a dog, so just better forget about this random thought.
