About this Quote

This quote by Jack Kerouac is a reminder that humans are not gods, but rather more like dogs. He is suggesting that if we do not snap, we will not be injured by others. However, if we remain upset, we will never ever be injured. He is likewise stating that pets do not respect humbleness and sorrow, which implies that we ought to not count on these qualities to protect us from harm. This quote is a suggestion that we need to not take our feelings too seriously, and that we must be careful not to let our anger get the best people. It is also a suggestion that we need to not depend on humility and sadness to secure us from damage, as dogs do not appreciate these qualities. Ultimately, this quote is a reminder that we must be mindful of our emotions and how we reveal them, as they can have a considerable effect on our lives.
