"helping is a graceful act"
many people do not embrace and care about helpfulness
i always thought that being helpful is the most basic and gracious thing a human can do...
it appears it me i am terribly wrong
but now, that is no longer important
it appears to me that human aren't the only helpful being
sometimes, even animals do care for each other...
a while ago,
i happened to bump into a dead crow on the road...
a really pitiful sight to behold just to say the least
to have a death caused by a cruel stampede by a car
instead, it is not the cause of the incident which strike me the most
rather, it is the sudden congregation of crow around the dead crow
which really puzzled and bewildered me
after a brief stun and a moment of thought
it appears to me that a 'funeral' of that crow is taking place....
the crows have gathered in a wide circle swirling around the dead crow..
the mourns of those crows were deafening
it was as if they were bidding goodbye to that dead crow
their loyal companion once, their friend before.
even little animals like birds show compassion to their buddies...
the question is does human show compassion for each other when it really matters?
it appears that my choice seems to be otherwise...
