宠物

我一向来很喜欢动物，并不是特别有爱心或什么， 只是纯碎“喜欢”，所以我一直都希望可以养宠物。。。

小时候养过无数的动物，有狗，乌龟，白兔，小鸟，鸡，鼠（不知道它的种类），还有无缘无故，不知从那里跑来的小猪（有五只那么多呢！）。。。都是我曾经拥有的“宠物”。但是，动物的寿命，始终比人类还短，所以当一只只的宠物离去后，我都会很伤心的。。。

说实话，我很怕生离死别的场面，虽然我可以接受，而且也明白那是理所当然的事情；但心里很，很，很是难受！所以我都尽量减少面对它；其中的方法就是不要养宠物了。所以当芳姨要给我Angel的时后，虽然对她有感情，很喜欢，也拒绝了领养Angel。心理一边不舍得，一边也很高兴，因为以后不用面对失去Angel的悲伤。

有时会想像，人死去后，那情况会是怎样？ 会遇到已去世的亲人吗？如果会，是不是说明“现在的离去，就是以后的相遇”？如果是这样，那么“死亡”又有什么可怕呢？

Adapt or Perish

"Since we live in a changing universe, why do men oppose change?
If a rock is in the way, the root of a tree will change its direction.
The dumbest animals try to adapt themselves to change conditions.
Even a rat will change its tactics to get a piece of cheese."
~ Melvin B Tolson
