They stay focused on their past successes rather than their past failures, and on the next action steps they need to take to get them closer to the fulfillment of their goals rather than all the other distractions that life presents to them  (Maintain Quotes) This may be the primary purpose of dogs: to restore our sense of wonder and to help us maintain it, to make us consider that we should trust our intuition as they trust theirs and to help us realize that a thing known intuitively can be as real as anything known by material experience  (Maintain Quotes) You could not possibly maintain the current level of government taxation without the taxes being hidden, and they are hidden in two very different ways.
