“It’s raining cats and dogs!” (via »)
I used to like dogs and, to a lesser degree, cats.
After some time passed, I noticed I liked dogs more than cats.
Thinking about the situation, I noticed I actually like dogs the same as cats, but I have a negative association with them – I’m afraid of stray dogs, and I associate my feelings for all dogs with this.
It’s like when adding a nice song as a tune for your mobile phone – after a while, it might disturb you, since you associate getting a call, generally, with getting a task, which you might not like.
It’s the same with dogs – I like them, but since I associate all dogs with stray dogs, I have a tendency to consider I don’t like them as much.
Which is false – I like both cats and dogs, rather equally. (with some variation, of course)
