Update: the six-year-old who famously said dogs live short lives “because they’re born already knowing how to love and be kind so they don’t have to stay here as long” is open for questioning about the lifespans of other species
turns out mosquitoes (lifespan up to 3 weeks) are among the most enlightened animal lifeforms because they’ve figured out all that really matters in life is alternately drinking lots of blood, getting laid, and having 100-200 babies directly into a pool of stagnant water
we can learn so much from the world around us <3
