Entitlement

Isn't it funny how people bond? Watching dogs at a dog park it makes sense. One dog is dominant, another follows.. some wrestle for the title, but in general, certain dogs play together well, others are outsiders, or simply oblivious... I like the herding dogs best because they've always got a job to do : )
I wish people could be more like that. Find their place so easily and contentedly. Instead we feel entitled to certain things. Especially in the romantic sense. Maybe it's just me but I have to fight myself from feeling like ex's are still my territory. I get jealous! Now, I know a lot of people would tell me that's because we're only designed to share ourselves that intimately with one person, so jealousy is a correct and natural reaction... still, I have the dilemma. It doesn't even mater if I'm happy to not be with them, I want them to be mine. I guess that's going back to original sin...wanting to be my own demi-god. Sigh

God save me from myself!
