I always admired elephants. If at all I were an animal, I would like to be an elephant. There are few reasons why I really want to be an elephant. I will come to the elaboration part in a while.
I used to wonder what if I were a snake. I also admire snakes but I don't want to be a snake. Because I cannot imagine a non vegetarian life. Snakes attract me so much especially king cobra because of the dignity it has among people. Usually people are afraid of snakes but in India, snakes are worshipped as superior beings.
I have heard that snakes are good hibernators and they also meditate and live for several years without any food intake. If at all they eat something it will not be quite often. So in that way I admire snakes but I really don't want to be a snake because when there is a necessity to live, I might have to kill another species to make a living.
Coming back to the elephant life. The reason why I admire them the most is because, even though they are very powerful, they express lots of humility. Especially domestic elephants. Wild elephants can be dangerous but domestic elephants lead a peaceful life by eating plants and tree branches and travelling from one place to another. That will be a good life I would say.
