Considering Pleasure.

I was thinking this morning that one of the very greatest pleasures in life is to come home and be greeted joyfully by a child or a dog. I decided it was because:

1) Unlike having a new car or the myriad other trappings of an opulent lifestyle, it functions on an internal level and is therefore more intimate and direct.

2) Unlike sex, it comes without conditions or complications.

Ah, the unconditionality of dogs and small fry, they're amazing beings aren't they!

I've found that kids will accept you whatever you are, warts and all, as long as you're straight with them. Kids are remarkably good at seeing through bullshit. And dogs are just the best.
