Pet a cat when you encounter one on the street from "summary" of 12 Rules for Life by Jordan B. Peterson
When you walk down the street and see a cat, stop and pet it. Take a moment out of your day to connect with another living being, even if it is just a small furry one. Cats are independent creatures, often wary of humans, but they also appreciate attention and affection. By reaching out to pet a cat, you are acknowledging its existence and showing it some kindness in a world that can sometimes be harsh and indifferent. Petting a cat can also be a way to practice mindfulness and be present in the moment. As you stroke the cat's fur and feel its warmth, you are fully engaged in the act of petting, letting go of any worries or distractions that may be weighing on your mind. This simple interaction with a cat can bring a sense of peace and calmness to your day, reminding you of the beauty and simplicity of life. In a world filled with so much chaos and uncertainty, petting a cat can be a grounding experience. It can help you reconnect with the natural world and appreciate the small moments of joy that animals can bring. By taking the time to pet a cat, you are not only benefiting the cat but also yourself, nurturing your own well-being and sense of connection to the world around you. So next time you see a cat on the street, don't hesitate to stop and give it a little pet. You never know how much that simple act of kindness can brighten both your day and the cat's.
