There is so much of negativity in this world. Worst affected are the animals - for no fault of theirs. I mean, weren't animals the first inhabitants of this earth? What rights do we have to torture them in this ruthless manner? Just because they do not and cannot tell us to shut up and stop (not like we would listen to them anyways), we cannot damage their lives this way.
I was watching something on TV the other day where two oxen were being brutally beaten and starved. It was so painful that I changed the channel instantly. And again on most days I see cattle being transported in trucks. I almost cry when I see the way they are being transported. One poor cow couldn't even move her head to flick off a fly that was on its cheek. They were packed like beer bottles. Is there no respect left for life on this earth? The newspapers the other day spoke of 58,000 dogs being shot in Baghdad in a period of ninety days. How ruthless is that? I feel awful when I see a cat or a dog being kicked away when they look at you pleading for half a morsel of food. I feel awful for those goats which are being carried in carry bags to be cut and sold by the kilo. Seriously there is no humanity left on this earth at all. I have half a mind to go and apologize to every tortured animal out there on behalf of all these heartless men.
I know its easy for me to sit and write about all this here. I do not have the guts to walk up the a man on the street flogging his oxen or kicking a dog. I just wish I had.
Speaking of negativity again, look at the news. Tell me one good thing that all the news channels flaunt about. Corruption here, murder there, accidents here, rapes there, theft, robbery and oh yes teams playing sports(its like a comic relief after all the disgusting news). And yeah, why wouldn't they broadcast such things when the whole world is filled with voyeurs? That is what we all want all the time. The so called "sensation". What pleasure we get in knowing that another person somewhere is being subjected to negativity? And we won't rest peacefully till we get to the dirty depths of the sensation.
And for those who want to get away from all this, what is the recourse we take? Or rather I take? I feel ashamed to say this but I escape from all this. I know there is nothing I can do about EVERYTHING around me, so the best thing for me to do is shut my mind and eyes from all this and try not to cause harm to any living thing from my side. That is the best I can do ! Be good and do good !!
