Why Not? You Are An Animal Afterall

Quick question: Are you, by any chance, a member of the Furry Fandom?

What's that? I haven't heard of that. I'm a fan of outside and positive energy instead of all the doom and gloom being spread. I don't know what the furry fandom is. Is "happy" really such a hard concept now?

No. My personal opinion is just that making an attempt at gaining any form of happiness through the means defined by yourself would be not very rewarding or able to achieve that goal.

🤨

Try it. Also try skinny dipping...outside. The tub doesn't count. You will be AMAZED at how it makes you feel.

Why would it?

If there was an eclipse, I would know.

My wish for you is for you to find whatever makes you want to howl at the moon. I hope, one day, passion overtakes you and then you'll understand what it is, to feel like you want to howl at the moon.

Howl?

Yes. Like a wolf! Don't you ever allow yourself to become animalistic and howl when you are amazed by nature? All kinds of animals do it. We do it to remind ourselves we're not as domesticated as everyone seems to think we are. We are animals and sometimes ... we howl at the moon.

No, we certainly won't allow ourselves to become animalistic. Although you are absolutely right that the human, as a species, is per definition, but that also means we are a separate species from wolves. Other than us being a mammalian species with common organs, there is a lot that makes us differ from basically all lupine creatures. Did you ever hear about or see a corgi howl at the moon? By the way, "there is no scientific evidence that wolves howl more under a full moon than when the moon is in any other phase." (Source: www.treehugger.com). Nothing is gained when howling at the moon. Humans do not howl at the moon, except for very few exceptions, one of them apparently being you. Lastly, while you, again, are correct about us not being domesticated: We aren't, because we are the ones domesticating.
It's up to you if you want to howl at the moon. I have no problem with that. If it, as you said in another comment of yours, made you feel amazing, I don't doubt that. I have a problem with you telling (subjectively) weird things on the internet while justifying them with disproven myths. And it's certainly not "amazing" for me.

Wow. I love your response! So engaged. Thank you. You need to howl or primal scream or go sky diving or something. I don't need your permission or approval but thank you for sharing your current opinion. And oh, yeah, I howled! So did millions of people apparently. I feel like you'd benefit from letting go of all that formality. You don't have to change personalities to howl at the moon or an eclipse. Just accept, and enjoy, that you are an animal. Stop thinking for just a moment and let the emotion of being alive over take you. Let yourself be a wild, untamed, animal for just a few seconds and howl or skinny dip or, I don't know, hug a tree or stand with your feet in the sand. Get out of your head just for a minute. Sometimes we forget that while we are educating ourselves and trying to become something formal.

I get it. I'm not hugging trees in court in front of the judges, clerks or at inappropriate times. Just .. let go now and again (without alcohol or pharmaceuticals). That's all. We are all so much more than one opinion or one way is the only right way.

I dont…..honestly
