How do horses see human lives?

If we were to really look closely at the horses life and structure, we should feel envy!

They do not condemn each other for any differences......period. They accept all that comes their way and they strive collectively for the survival of the whole species. They do not have land claims (or ownership of any kind), indulge in gossip, condemn another for looking different or consume themselves in collecting material possessions. There are no Gods, bibles or religions to follow. There is no such thing as a future to worry about, it's not a concern, only living in harmony for the moment is valued, appreciated and needed.

Many people wonder why they are so drawn to horses ( I was one of them too!) Finally it was described to me like this. Horses and all animals understand "who they are", what they have come here to do (which is simply put, "they live life for a living!"), are aware that there is no end (we can never get it done) and do not fret about death because of all these awareness's. The balance of life that they possess oozes from them and can be seen but mostly "felt" when in their presence. We recognize this "peaceful existence" but have lost many memories of such in the process of our human evolution, yet when we stand next to them we get a glimpse and the feeling of it again. Since we all long to feel this more often, we gravitate to those who possess this positive energy of well being and seek more of it. (Now you know why the simple act of brushing a horse makes you feel so good!)

How do the horses (and all animals) of the world see us?

Pity would be one way to say it with the sense of humor that goes along with that thought yet for the most part and when they are forced into socializing with us whether it be because of domestication or use, they would find us "confusing", "resistant" and "confrontational"! If they had the same conscious awareness as people they probably would be asking "WHY" a lot! Why do you humans worry, fret and conjure up laws that everyone must follow or else be punished? Why do you consume yourselves with petty projects and ask others to be slaves for your enjoyment? Why do you want us to behave and live under human conditions when we are compelled and connected to nature and the earth's natural rhythms? The list would be endless! :0)

Feel a little envious yet? :0)
