Pairing

This morning when I was leaving for work I saw a stray dog hurry across my yard. Shortly afterwards, perhaps a sibling dog followed behind. I thought it was interesting the way that most species pair up in life, even though they could potentially live fine on their own. It made me wonder what their story was. Whether they were siblings, or partners... How long they had been traveling together, if there was more to their pack, where their owners might be. And it got me to thinking about humans.

When other humans see a single human walking about, do they wonder what that person's story is? Why they don't have a pack? Or if they see a pair of humans, do they automatically assume they are romantically involved? It is interest to follow the human mind. The thought processes are so... erratic. We all have the ability to create other people's lives and tell other people's stories in our heads just from a glance.

Just a thought.
