“The more I see of humans the more I like horses”
— Damon Runyon
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, people's actions can be disappointing or make you lose faith in humanity. For example, you might trust someone, and they lie or betray you, making you feel hurt and let down. On the other hand, animals like horses are often seen as more loyal and straightforward. They don't have hidden motives or deceive you; they simply interact with you honestly and openly. If you've ever had a pet or worked with animals, you might understand the comfort that comes from their simple and faithful nature. This quote reflects a feeling of appreciating the genuine, uncomplicated behavior of animals over the often complicated and disappointing behavior of people. So, if you feel let down by someone's actions, remember the value of honesty and loyalty, like that of a horse, and try to embody those traits in your life.
