Humans seem generally dissatisfied with their nature, and they’re on a continual quest to be something they’re not, sometimes to absurd levels. They also suffer from continual existential angst. Hence, they cling to philosophy or morals, to determine what’s good and evil, how to improve, how not to be bad people.

Unlike humans, cats don’t care about morals. They don’t have ambitions to improve the world either, nor themselves. Cats are happy, relaxed, and content by default.

The secret of feline happiness is that they don’t tell their lives as stories. Cats are not self-conscious and don’t find meaning in constructing a story about their lives. Forget pursuing happiness, and maybe you’ll find it~
