DONKEY:The 4X4 pickup from the past
Probably the only one left.....
Donkey is not a .....small horse. He does not have the size ,the proudness , the apearance or the special abbilities of a gorgeous horse !Ridding on a donkey is more like walking with someone else's feet !!!But is a grate mistake to compare a donkey with a horse. Is like to put nearby a small 4X4 pickup and a F1 vechile.
Untill a few decades ago ,donkey use to be a very powerfull "tool" for the country people. He use to be their "right hand" for every job on daily basis throughout the year.
Let me explain you how, by describing how life was running in a quiet small village on a small island, somewhere in Aegean Sea.
At first ,I should tell you that my place is "blessed". It means , that is possible to produce everything a man needs to survive. All kind of fruits, vegetables, sereals, legumes, olive oil, home animals and anything you can imagine, i.e. tabacco ect.
Those years that we are talking about, 3-4 decades back, people who lived here did not need to buy enything else exept fish, since we where not near the sea, coffee, some use to make their own kind of coffee from chick pea , and a few other minor things.
Donkey played a very significant role in order to prepare, produce and carry home all the necessary products.
Every house use to have at least two , first because they were used as the main transportation vechile and a couple neede two, and second, it was impossible for one donkey to carry out all the necesary work.
The major tasks of the donkey were:
. ridding
. plowing
. sowing
. threshing
. carrying
. help in pumping water out of wells
. manure for fertilizing
In these major tasks we could easily add several of other minor but essential tasks that helped people to improve their quality of life. In this point we should note that someones used mules too. But although mules are a lot more powerfull than donkeys, they are a very bad character animals and very hard to manipulate, i.e women or kids could not use them.
Donkey is a very low profile animal with very few needs. Plenty fresh water, grass or straw and a litle amount of cereal, is enough to make him strong and happy to carry out his task efficiently.
Donkey belongs to the past... Now only very few left to remaind these good old happy days for him as well as for us......
Now they have replaced by 4x4 cars with all the consequenses...in our pockets and our lives......

Cats In My Life
FOOSKAS. This male cat in his previous life should have been a "politician" !.Firstly he is fat. Seven and a half (7,5) kilos is not the weihgt for a normal cat and secondly he is an always talking cat. He is always talking. For everything ,for anything. He is looking you in the eyes(politician) and he talks,miaou,miaou,for nothing,all day through !
BALOO.The female cat with higher IQ from many of today "politicians"! She has place in order with her life in a very special way.
She gives everything easily exept love.... There you have to be very very obediant!!
"God created the cat in order to enable man to caress the lion"
Why lion? Because is the most proud, clever and powerfull mammal! The king, the No 1 !
Watching carefully peoples` behavior according to their pet preference I has put them in two different categories:
1.DOG - ORIENTED
People who have the dog as their favor pet. Faithness, loyalty and unwillingnes is their basic principles as well as their major strategic point of life, fact which eliminates in a grate degree their view further up, where any different reaction, contadiction and alternative opinion is almost never acceptable.
Generally they are easy going people and sceptikism is too far away from their thougths.
2.CAT - ORIENTED
People to anticipate to go home in order to caress their cat. This category may not be the major one ,but is, in my opinion, the most significant.
Their belief of life is based on the fact that every one has to know who he really is and his social behavior should be exclusively according to this knowledge.That makes them having always the agony of life and lifes` quality. Exactly this knowledge makes them productive and anxious for their future.
Generaly they are hard going people since the way-on is based on deep knowledge and strong emotions.
