Awww!
One of these cute kittens your neighbor owns somehow makes their way up to your room. As for myself, I wouldn't mind listening to them purring and cuddling them for a while. But you know what the problem with every living thing in the world is- change. Maybe nature makes every newborn cute, for reasons of self preservation. But does any creature except humans identify cuteness? Or maybe they do but they still don't find it troubling to ingest a sweet little kitten. A question here arises but it doesn't really mean anything. Would we love a baby if it looked like an eighty year old man? What is love then, hormones for us and some kind of mental phenomenon for the baby's mother, I suppose. They say a mother would love their child whatever it looks like. So is our love any different from the mind's response to a cute kitten? Too many questions here but they don't matter much, do they? It is only our selfish minds that concur after we are done wondering what makes sense and what not. After all, the mind is the only faculty we use for thinking and all this time we have tried to distance love from our mind by calling it our heart has only led to the belief that love is something pure. But self deception is one thing our mind is good at, isn't love then the biggest deception after death?
