We're all fucking dogs

No, not as in we are fucking, but as in we are dogs. Anyone who's studied canine behavior will tell you that a dog has issues when it isn't given any tasks to complete. Often times, a dog becomes deliquent and exhibits signs of boredom when they aren't given a specific job. If you simply caress and love your dog, odds are very good the canine will overtake you.

The canine hierarchy is simple and everyone's got their place. If you aren't placed, then you aren't in. You've got to know who ranks above you, and who ranks below you.

This is pretty isometric when compared to our society. We have many problems with deliquents and crime. And it isn't surprising when we find out that most people hate the job they're doing. So I'd like to propose a research in which we correlate crime and job satisfaction. Then a research that correlates job satisfaction with depression. The subtleties of the ladder are harder to gauge, such things as tasks that aren't considered to be employement. Also, satisfaction isn't a quantifyable variable, so finding a way to properly express and quantify such an 'emotion' is going to be a hard task.

But keeping with the idea that we're a reflection of the animal kingdom that once surrounded us. I predict the results of such research to be in favor of the canine behavior being a reflection of us humans.

Something else that needs a looking into is the phenomena in which when no problems surface in our lives, we try to find some or create some. I'm, of course, talking about several people who get into conflict relationships and make a big deal out of small things. I think humans are simply problem solvers and we just can't stand not having problems to solve. Maybe this spawn from the fact that we no longer have to hunt, cultivate or protect ourselves as much as when we were pure animals. It can also spawn from the fact that all those elements are still present but we are limited by the authorities we have set up for ourselves. We can still hunt, but on a limited basis and we still feel under attack by different entities in society, yet we cannot take the course of action that would be considered to be personal because then it is considered vigilantism or simple conspiracy. But hey, who am I to judge right?
