Emotional bank

I'm rich!!!!
I realized that I have been saving up all these years. (bravo val, a pat on the back)
Yes,I did,in the wrong bank,though.

While my financial bank is always empty, I noticed my emotional bank is prosperously full and generous. Why, I must have been saving them up for some reason. To buy a puppy, for eg.
I used to want to buy a kitten for myself for many years, I didn't, cos I have no confidence that I would give full commitment to the poor kitten. Then,it finally dawned on me that all along, I needed a puppy. Eureka!!!

The obvious reaction was to go to a pet store and then I saw one exquisite puppy. She was not the most beautiful puppy there but somehow,she had this energy, her eyes drew me closer to her though they were far away in her own world. Her distinguished attitude attracted me so.

"I'll take her."
"I'm sorry,she's not for sale," said the shopkeeper.
"I don't mind the cost,I'll pay anything."
"I'm so sorry,she really is not for sale." insisted the shopkeeper.
"Why?She's needs to be taken care of,right? She needs a home,right?"
"Hmm...indeed,but the reason she's not for sale is because she will not follow you home, even if she does,she will be in her own world." he tried to explain.
"How's that?"
"Because she's too loyal to her previous master who dumped her. She has not figured out how to move on and let her master go yet. Her master took her back once and dumped her again. A master who rather have kittens than her." he answered with a sigh.

I'm damn rich but I couldn't buy this special puppy. I have all the emotions in the world to shower her with love and care , never ever going to let her experience the ill-fated treatment from her inhuman master. But I will never have the privilege. She wants to be left alone as she mourns and misses her old master. Even if I brought her back by force, she will probably just fall ill from misery and die on me. Still, I admire her loyalty. A fool, no doubt, but honourable.

I finally understood why I prefer puppies rather than kittens now.
Maybe I should shut down my emotional bank and begin saving in my financial bank for once.
