I do not concern myself with my inability to feel such comfort amidst humans (other than with very few friends and family), but, rather, am simply thankful that at least dogs exist, and I’m humbly aware of how much less a person I’d be — how less a human — if they did not exist. Rick Bass
About This Quote

This quote is a great reminder that the most important thing in the world is just to be happy. We all have our ups and downs and we can't always be happy and we can't always be sad. Life is good and life is bad and life is amazing and life is disgusting. Life is complicated and life is simple.

Life is what we make it and we should live our lives with no regrets. Life is too short to worry about others, but long enough for us to consider how we want to live it.
