You are a different animal, nothing less.

Which animal would you compare yourself to and why?

The rain elapsed, followed by a slight sunshine. Having been home all day due to the reduction in job demand by the company I currently work for, I was among those laid off till further notice. Cold and jittery, my mind took the greater part of me. It has been raining all through this month, to the surprise of everyone. Where does the hall of mountain sunshine seem to be suddenly becoming a cold water forest? Maybe it’s climate change. Madrid, the center of Europe, has monotonous weather. 

What again is this topic about? * Which animal would I compare myself to and why? 

I quickly stepped outside the gate to grace the noon sun, which pelted my spirit and soul and had me in the same position with my body fighting over the best position, which was most enjoyable. Putting my face up directly to the rays of sunlight, eyes closed, wishing that I could be made to lie down in my position for a long period of time, though I was only in front of my house building, resting partially on a parked vehicle. Many passersby understood the importance of the sun to me, judging by their looks towards me, of which I paid no attention. Suddenly there was a bird noise, which reminded me of a particular bird back then in my hometown, usually heard early afternoon and evening, a unique one though. However, that is not the type of animal I am or like to be compared with, but I love its gentle and peaceful nature. 

Irrespective of your kind,no animal survives alone.

Even as the memories of hunting them for food in the past resonated in my mind, something I frown at currently because I believe that every animal has the right to life. There sit two birds of the same feather, like the usual words (they flock together), but something stood out that had me in awe, even to the point of taking my mind away from these golden rays of sunshine. I looked furiously towards the birds sitting on telephone cables; it appeared that they were young couples or friends of opposite sexes. It was my first time seeing such intimacy between such animals, even in humans. At first they spoke to each other in their language, then kissed passionately. I became confused because I never believed my eyes. Then they mated, after which they caressed each other by picking each other’s feathers, even to the extent of laying their heads on each other. I froze at my position, not realizing how long I had been gazing at these wonderful birds. Maybe the universe was talking to me indirectly about how life, courtship, friendship, and marriage should be, or maybe I am lost in my own thoughts. I quickly ran inside, having enjoyed the sun and the birds’ companionship… 

As humans, we are nothing less than a different animal, but whichever you choose to be, or compared with! Let it be with love, openness, and tolerance for one another; For irrespective of your kinds, no animal survives alone.

Policies against opinions

How have your political views changed over time?

Only few understands the term service

I was always interested in the policies of the governments that were in power at the time because, as a young person, I was not just hopeful about my political beliefs but also about how I might best help to improve my society. My favourite subject in secondary school was government, which I found enjoyable. The foundations established by the big nations’ founding fathers piqued my curiosity much. their names’ inherent charm as well as their prior contributions. As a result, I intended to pursue foreign studies at university, but I had no idea that my goal would never come true. A legacy endures forever. As a child who strives for excellence, I attempted to comprehend the significance of government, the reasons for its structure, and why everyone must adhere to it. 

However, I became puzzled because the definitions and methods of practice contained in our study books and constitutions, as well as those espoused by political parties, are diametrically opposed. Especially when they say democracy is “government of, by, and for the people.” Since the government that advocates for human rights denies people their fundamental rights. Politicians that advocate for freedom of speech stifle activists. I became disinterested in politics. when government institutions operated against the people they were supposed to serve and society was unable to hold elected officials accountable for breaching the law. I lost interest in governance. My opinions could change, though, if our politicians realise that being a leader entails serving others and are held responsible for their mistakes, just like everyone else in that society.
