DANDEROUS FANTACIES

You will be surprised by the fantasies of many people, especially when they have money. For example, I remember when my dad had money and how much he spent to crossbreed a dog because he wanted a different breed of dog. He spent almost 2 million naira to just get the dog, talkless of how much he spent on food and vet. He had the money and loved the idea of having a very ruthless dog that would scare people away, and when the dog came, it was so ruthless that even he could not control it. This was because he hardly had time for it and was always busy with work. I was the only one the dog listened to, and I even knew when not to provoke it because I was almost always home and trained it alongside the vet taking care of it. The dog however ended up having a short life span and by the time I gained admission to school and came home for holidays, it was dead. That was the period my dad was having financial crises, if he wasn’t, I am sure he would have gotten another one lol.

But yeah our fantasies speak a lot, some people's fantasies are gentle, and others are wild and ruthless. I for one have some ruthless fantasies, I do not dismiss the idea of training a wild animal in my home, but unlike my dad, I won’t be getting one if I do not have the time to train them myself from when they are little. I love the white wolf, the white Lion and the eagle. I prefer the eagle with multicolour. This is because I have fantasized about them for so long and getting them will really be a thing of joy for me so long I can train them and feed them without worrying about the cost. However, I do not see them as pets, I see them as security lol. I find it funny calling a lion a pet, I feel it belittles its legendary majesty. Because I can’t have a lion that has the mind of a chicken. If I ever have such an animal, it should be for security.

I believe in allowing living things to be the best they can ever be, if I am going to have a wild animal, then it should be wild and only have one master. I won’t go about playing with it, but I will train it, and teach it like a soldier. Yeah it’s risky I know, but I guess that is where the fun is. I can remember how violent my dog used to be, and how much it submits to me, it understands its master, and the master understands it. We were really close and it loved following me around until it started getting old and wobbly before I left for school and finally passed away. I feel the wild for even the wild animals is dangerous, and sometimes they should be allowed to become strong enough even after being domesticated because in their strength lies their power. Ordinary thieves would think twice before they try to attack a house with a wild animal in it, especially when the animal is really wild.
