I am not any animal activist or
anything, but it’s just a few things that make me think about our harshness
towards nature. I never find a reason why we have to be like this.
We forget to realize how tolerant
the nature and other animals have been with us. We are not civilized yet; in
fact we try to make our life good, that’s selfishness not civilization. Since
the beginning of our psychological ‘humanization’ we have mostly focused only
on our existence and requirements by means of various successful attempts and
achievements in getting so called civilized. We used nature to feed our greed
for civilization and wild animals had to pay. I don’t know if we can change
this, but I regret being a human sometimes.
Today I just wanted to write about
how I felt when I saw a few kids playing with a little puppy, poking and
dirtying it with mud, and eventually killed it the same evening, but I guess I
wrote few extra lines in the beginning.
I scolded the kids when I saw them
surrounding the puppy in the park one day at around 4pm. The thin rickety puppy
sitting silently, wasn’t making any sound. After my scolding the kids scattered
and started playing their games in the same park. I finally had to leave, for,
I was going to the market.
While coming back, I entered the
park to make sure that the puppy was safe. He was obviously revisited by those
kids, who were no where in the scene then.
I found the puppy almost covered
with mud and coughing. Perhaps those kids made him swallow a chunk of mud. The
mud was right inside his stomach and he was trying his best to vomit it out. I
could not do anything, but just witness its pain. It simply died. It didn’t
have to, did he?
He was not making noise, he was not
attacking anyone, and he was not expecting any pity either. Just because few
irresponsible humans needed some fun, he had to die.
What was that? Was that fun, just a game for those kids for that evening? We still call
them human and they will grow up to become responsible or whatever citizens?
Even animals do not kill unless they
are hungry.
My question is, if the parents give
good moral education to their children could the kids still afford to be so
pitiless? May be not, unless they are psychologically or morally sick.
Just two words ‘be empathetic’ can be
easily taught, and believe it or not cruelty and aggressiveness increase if
tolerated or not restricted. You love your children and give them a safe
life... this makes sense for you. You love your children and teach them to respect
life and create a safe environment for everyone and everything... this has to makes sense in every way.
