The dog will start to wag its tail as the car approaches. The anticipation is elevating.
As the car get closer, the dog starts to see exactly what it is. But at the same time, it doesn’t quite understand what it means.
When the car gets close enough to see, the dog takes immediate action.
As the car turns the corner, the dog takes off to chase after it.
This is a common process. It’s an exciting unknown that we’re too interested in to not follow.
But if we stop to really think about it, we’d need to answer the following question….
What would happen if the dog caught the car?
Nothing.
But the dog may never realize that it will perpetually prefer to never catch up to the car.
