Deadlines... And How My Cat Deals with Them!

Sometimes I feel my entire life is controlled by deadlines. Project deadlines, deadline to get up and deadline to sleep, "have you booked the tickets?", what was the last date to pay the bills?, "so when are you getting married?"....aww!! What would the world have been like if there was no calendar and no clock? What if the word "chronology" was non-existent in human terminology? What if our life wasn't broken up into days, minutes and seconds? If there were no concepts of past life, present life and future life (aka life after death)?

All the answers seem to lie within the tiny head of my cat. Oops! She is not a cat. She's a divine creature. She seems to have achieved Moksha. In no hurry to meet deadlines, she sleeps whenever she wants, eats whenever she wants, contemplates most of the time, takes interests in mice, birds, and ropes sometimes. Someone who accepts time as it is and doesn't ever allow it to become her master. Time doesn't control her, she controls time. No doubt ancient Egyptians communicated with their gods through the medium of cats.

My recommendation for a happy, healthy and stress free life: Follow the Cat Philosophy. Meow! (Translated as "Yes!")
