Interpretation

What this quote means

This quote humorously reflects on a dog's perspective of his owner's frustration with receiving too much mail.

Albert Einstein's quote provides a whimsical insight into a dog's perception of his owner's feelings. It suggests that the dog empathizes with his owner, imagining that the accumulation of mail is a burden, and reacts by trying to protect him from the 'threat' of the mailman. This playful interpretation highlights both the intelligence and loyalty often attributed to dogs, while also pointing out the absurdity of the situation.

Imagine wasting all that perfectly good anger on paranoid fantasies. Not since Emily Litella got upset about "Soviet jewelry" has there been such a waste of anger.
