God or Dog

This is not an angel / devil thing where we should be one side and not the other side - its a fact: one part of us is like a dog and the other side of us wants to be with God.

Learn about dogs; how they eat and defaecate, how they have sex and have children, how they seek social security and dominance. This is our genetic and natural side.

But they have short and temporary existences and they suffer.

Humans do many things exactly like dogs.

But we also have another side which does not belong to dogs. We can put others before ourself in a way which cannot be explained by genetics. We can develop distance and mastery of our genetic and natural sides, and through this process we can overcome the limitations of material existence escaping death and suffering - just as Jesus and Buddha for example have done.

The path of God is quite different from the path of dog. Dogs seek satisfaction for desires, Gods seek freedom and liberation. Dogs put themselves first, Gods seek liberation from themselves initially by putting others first. Dogs are onesided and bias, Gods are multisides and universal. Dogs are agressive and protective while Gods are joyful, compassionate and endlessly giving.

There are big differences and we need to chose all the time whether we want to be more dog or moreGod in life.
