I am being a proud Non-vegetarian never thought of the lives of broods of hen in the poultry farm or herds of sheep lying in the herdsman's shed. I am a man who enjoyed looking at a video in which a little, cute, innocent lamb was made as an oblation.
It surprises me when people say a small incident in their lives which happens accidentally changes them a lot. But now I experienced the same. It is a small hotel where we can find dishes of low cost. I ordered a plate of Maggie, an omelet made with two eggs and a glass of tea. Mean while I opened my smart and big phone to read some articles in the Writers' Digest. A dog, He came and sat under the table. I didn't notice that for some time and swinging my feet in front of it's mouth like a piece of bone ready to be offered. My ordered was delivered on my desk. I started enjoying it because I had my last meal 19 hours ago. The cute puppy stood from there and looking at me curiously. I came to know feelings in his heart. I understood he is starving for food. I started feeding him with omelet I bought for me.
Suddenly I observed people are running here and there outside of the compound of the hotel's shed. It is clearly visible to me as the germ wall is so short. I can observe a van named as AMBULANCE with mirror imaged letters. I thought it has come for taking a patient over there. But that van's door is opening to death for dogs. I was shocked. That hotel owner came with a cake in his hands to me. He gave it to me to offer that dog. It is all to avoid that cruel men who were catching the dogs from catching my dog. I offered a cake slowly with my hand to him. He is a street dog but humane dog unlike human beings on the earth. He didn't bite my fingers. That van started from there and went away. I deeply looked into his eyes. He is still hungry, I fed him with one more cake as he ate it previously with at most interest. He doesn't know that he was saved from that unkind men but I know it. I loved the feeling of helping a life and saving a creature and I pray the Only One to give such experience to every so called Human Being. I perceived that this is the actual nature of the being and no big actions are needed to save a life All this happened because as I saw into eyes of him. I realized that I didn't do anything great at that place but my timely kindness and true actions saved a life of a dog.
There on I started believing one must carry kindness and their true shades of behavior with them always. Humanity is not at all a small word. It is the respect which we give to the surroundings and we take from it. I used to speak on and make some statements from Darwin's theory. I was not perfect in this theory till some date of my life as no one questioned me whether I eat meat or not. Later I was asked this question by many. Then I learnt the art of making excuses and explanations for that using my little unclear science knowledge. Now I come out and say some theories are good to make some other theories out of it. Not to apply where the kind hearts are thumped with great blows of customs and traditions. Here on I hope my mind follow the rules laid by heart.
All lives are equal and every life on earth has right to live.
Life of a human= Life of a Dog or a Hen or a Lamb.
