Personally, I believe we love pets because we meet something of ourselves in the pets that we keep; after all, pets are part of Nature… Being with a pet, I believe, is one way of Nature revealing Its essence, soul and divinity. We bear a resemblance to pets, and that we are special because we are human beings.
It’s really true that pets and humans are similar because we are all God’s creation. I think it is only when we accept God’s love for us, we can not only accept God’s love for our pets, but also love our pets more dearly for what they are.
Every time I spend my time with my exotic pets, I feel a certain sense of surreal and divine peace and nature. Just by looking at them, I feel a sense of connectedness to God and the Nature He has created. I am very thankful to God for showing me that He cares for us as much as my pets. The time I spend with my pets really make me feel contented, happy and peaceful.
I think the one reason I love my pets is because they remind me to slow down in life and to be grateful for everything that God has given me!
