We have to have priorities in our lives. If we don’t we will find ourselves like sailors in a boat steering rudderless to shore. The art of life is studying all of the world’s creatures. They offer free lessons in being patience with their offspring, teaching them the art of listening to the rustle and smell of danger. Instead of believing we are better than animals we would be better off if we emulate them.
