What are valuable lessons we can learn from animals? You're welcome to mention the animal.

Some things I learned from animals were:
1. Be kind and caring and helpful to everyone including yourself.
2. If you see a homeless person or people, try to help them every way you can.
3. Be accepting of everyone.
4. Do not hurt/harm anyone.
5. Everyone has the right to live.
6. Everyone is special, valuable, unique, beautiful, worthful whether they know it or not.

I learned all these lessons while I was still a kid bc we had an animal - a pet cat - which is where I learned those lessons from. Sadly it passed away. Its 9 lives ran out from old age.

Those are wonderful things your cat (RIP) taught you. I believe growing up with an animal or animals is very healthy for a child in general.

I like that you mentioned playing as well. As adults we seem to find it harder to play and to have fun although it is very healthy for our well-being.

It's amazing how patient some animals are. Elephants are recognized as the most patient animals. Their patience plays a crucial role in their survival and social interactions.

The points of views are going to be different. A farmer will not give the same answer as someone who's got a cat in his city apartment.  Some people worship some animals while others are disgusted. A  kept animal will be different from one in the wild. Some animals are used to and even need human company while others avoid it. Also, the level and scope of consciousness varies from species to species. 

Most animal's lives are rather simple. They do not have human needs.

@Fradiga yeah maybe, but all our natural instincts, are shown in a lot of different animals lives, it's definitely a simpler more care free life. But I think that might have something to do with no laws in the animal kingdom ❤

Animals are usually happy to see us. Some of them are happy to see any human. I wish I could say that about more humans!

@soulsings

I remember my dogs how they were overjoyed seeing me when I came back from work in the evening. Never experienced that kind of joy with a person but then again animals do not face the mental challenges humans face in life, they have their own things though. 

We are always happy to see you here soul!

@amiablePeace77 animals fascinate me, I've learnt so much about them thread past few years. I can't believe how many species there are out there, it's incredible ❤ what can we learn from them

Dogs- loyalty and pure love

Insects- how working together as a team makes things easier

Swans- only one soul mate, a forever kind of love (seems hard to find there days) 

All animals - life is a game we all play together, so whatever it takes just be happy, it's the little simple things that makes us most happy😁❤❤

I so agree with you! When I was young, I thought there is so much time left and was eager to become an adult but as I aged, I realized how precious even moments can be.
