Eden.

Dogs are our link to paradise.
They don't know evil or jealousy or hate.
To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring - it was peace.


-Milan Kundera, poe and writer

One of the best and very true quotes ever I heard.

Edit:
People, that quote is NOT regarding directly about the dog. It's kind of a metaphore. It considers about how human is complicated with it's own emotions, feelings, desire, overreact and miss simple things.
Hate. Jealousy. Propaganda. Grudge. Greed. And many others.
If you do something wrong, they'll remember. If you do something good, they'll remember for short time and forget.
Most people just love focusing on bad things more than good causes. Simply of an exapmple is drama on dA- everyone is appearing and focusing on it.
Very often, nonsensual issue is, human's jealously. If they, even you both don't know with them and you did NOTHING to them, they will grudge against you because simply are jealous of success archeived by you (like well drawing, great dancer etc). No matter what good causes you're trying to do, they will want just prove that you are worthless.
Spreading black rumors about others is simply a greed and egoism, because you want to feel you're saint and others are worst. Can't you spread good causes which will help effectively improving than wasting time on rumors?
