DID BALZAC KNOW JACK OR CATS?

Salud, Kids!

"Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other."-Balzac

Do you know Balzac?

Rather, do you enjoy his work or words?

I mean it isn't like he has been around lately to spout observations on humanity. Too bad about that as I am sure it would be spot-on.

Now, if you aren't a fan, that's cool.

Me?

I am a fan.

Why?

Because I simply like his style. Not everything, but some of it is pure gold.

Take the above quote.

Is that accurate?

In a relationship does one person HAVE to feel superior?

Ponder THAT one for a few minutes.

I do and I envision particular friends and I am CERTAIN they not only feel superior to me-they ARE, in fact, superior.

Knowing and accepting this factoid gives me great comfort as I feel superior to, oh, certain cats I know. Just certain ones, not all, you understand.

Actually, I also believe if Balzac were hanging 'round my little circle of zaniness, he would rewrite that quote and it would be something along the lines of..."Animals are better at being best friends than many people, and that's a fact, Jack."

Cats and dogs really can be BFF's without an Alpha or superior one having the upper hand and I have photographic proof.

Now, I ask you, do YOU have any BFF's, any friends at all, willing to hang out beside you while you dry yourself in a towel like these kids?

Uh-huh, see what I mean. You aren't as superior as you suspected. Deal with it and move on.

Cheers and all due respect to Honore B. on having rewritten his quote.

See ya 'round the beaches-real or virtual.
