When ani­mals act as a placebo

Well, I’ll admit, the word pla­ce­bo is a lit­tle strong, but do wha­te­ver you like, I couldn’t help myself. But let’s still have a look at what this is all about. I use the word pla­ce­bo as a crutch. Stran­ge­ly, pets, a sub­ject I tou­ched on in the fol­lo­wing article https://coachdanny.ca/2019/04/11/nationalpetday-2/ and this one too https://coachdanny.ca/fr/2019/02/20/loveyourpetday-2/, do remind me of my ulti­mate belief that humans are fun­da­men­tal­ly good. In my opi­nion, those who claim the exact oppo­site are very close to being right, but in fact, they are wrong. The rea­son for that is the true deep layer of our huma­ni­ty is rela­ti­ve­ly neu­tral. At these great depths, there is nei­ther good nor evil. Eve­ry­thing is moti­va­tion, and who can blame self-defence for survival?

In the context of self-suf­fi­cien­cy, these basic ins­tincts are miti­ga­ted, and we the­re­fore attempt to secure our future. Would we do it to the detriment of others? Abso­lu­te­ly not. On the other hand, we maybe wouldn’t let our­selves die of star­va­tion for the bene­fit of a stran­ger. But we can easi­ly see seve­ral cases where people put their loved ones before them­selves, inclu­ding even their pets. So, let’s thank them for making it easier to see the type of huma­ni­ty we wish for, rather than the one we do not wish for.
