Nobobdy knows what they have until it's gone,everything may seem like a world of perfection.Just knowing nothing could ever go wrong,nothing could ruin it.This story relates to sombody's life that seemed to be going just fine until the person became someone else,a total stranger.
To me each cat in the story symbolizes all the bad emotions a human has. Anger,hatred,jealousy,ect are emotions that cause us to feel unpleasant.Its a natural response,feelings we as humans expirience once in a while.Sometimes these emotions are hard to control they become a threat to others,causing us to express it by slamming doors,confronting the person who we perceive to have caused our anger and ect.I belive the first black cat symbolises the ungreatfull heart the man had to accept love.Thinking the cat no longer loved him he decided to hang the poor cat.
The second cat gives an understanding of guilt the narrator is feeling for what he's done.He begans to feel regret,because the second cat is bringing all the emotions he had for the first black cat.Attempting to release all the anger he re builds up, he tries to kill the second black cat as well.Though he isn't succesful,the white spot helps him realize all the bad he has done.It was like a symbol that made him change his mind in an instant.The story was a way to show how each person handles their emotions.
Everything we do is mainly controlled by our emotions.Its up to each one of us to decide how to handle them.For some,it is hard admitting what they are feeling and by that,it can become out of control.It can lead you to become someone you do not want to be just like a stranger withing yourself.Addicted in self destruction,you go crazy and cant control anything your doing.Many people realize all the destruction or harm they created until they see or face the ones whom caused the emotions become uncontrolable.
Though their are times where it's to late to solve the problem,like the man in the story.He killed the cats as well as his wife,his mistakes had been already done,no way he could of brought his wife nethier the cats back to life.It was already to late.People make mistakes,though their are some who do them on purpose and some who do it by accident.Many say "Forgive but not forget"but how could you forgive a person when they did something to you on purpose?I say this because I have been in two situations were I was forgiven for my mistakes and when I let a friendship go,by not forgiving.
People don't just say things without knowing what exactly comes out of their mouths,especially something that can make you feel humiliated,something so personal.
I remeber the time I was so angry due to the fact my owen very bestfriend backstabbed me.It was one of the most hardest things I went thru.Though I could say it's all in the past now.I knew a sorry would not be enough,because it was something this person did on purpose.Fact is that's why I never forgave the person because I knew if I did maybe the same story would be repeated.
I choose my own decisions,many told me to forgive the person because it was a "mistake",according to them everyone makes mistakes.Though they didn't know what exactly happened,I decided for myself.Even today I think about it,if that person came back and asked me to please forgive them,I would not think twice I would simply say no.I may sound like a total biscuit but it's something I could never go back to doing again.Then their is the story where I actually realized my mistakes before it was to late.
Sometimes when someone you love is causing you to create some sort of disliketowrds them,you know you can't comfront them because you dont want to hurt them right?Well back in freshman year I would always hang out with one of my friends everyday,who today I consider one of my closest.We would communicate as soon as we got home,by getting on myspace or by talking on the phone.Their was times were she would always bug me,I guess I spent to much time with her it made me feel like I could not be alone for once.Though I started saying how bad she anoyed me and how easy she would get in my nerves.Even though I did not tell her about this,she heard it from other people because they heard me say it.
I knew if she found out it would really hurt her.However,it was not like I was spreading a rumor or saying something personal about her.I remeber talking with another group of friends and I guess they thought I disliked her by saying how she anoyed me at times.Soon I realized she found out,so I had to comfront her I explained to her what really was going on.I did not want to loose our friendship over something she heard that was misunderstood.I asked for her to forgive me and she did,I knew if I lost our friendship I would be alone.She was someone that ment so much,she also knew I loved her very much.
Today I look back at this,im glad I went to her before it was to late,she remains to be my close friend who I call "Chimps-Ahoy"I love her to death.Even though some of these emotions had an effect to my life,im grateful to be given a second chance.Solve those mistakes created,give forgivness to those whom deserve it,letting go may be hard,though time can help it heal.
