Our brains have been designed to blur the line
between self and other. It is an ancient neural circuitry that marks every
mammal, from mouse to elephant. --Frans de

The Junkyard Stray With A Huge Heart

The
human race still has a very long way to go when it comes to the treatment of
animals. Things are changing, however, as more people are starting to realize
that most beings on this planet, if not all beings, share something in common
within their hearts; love, care, emotion, altruism, affection and consciousness.
We are talking about living, breathing, feeling beings that are extremely
intelligent. The only difference is that they take a different form than us, and
use different communication techniques.
Animals Teach Us So Much!
We
have so much to learn from animals. In the meantime, we have completely
destroyed their world to support our greed. We’ve become completely disconnected
with nature, and we will not be able to advance as a species if we continue down
the same road we’ve been traveling.
I
can understand why many of them fear us, and are very hesitant to come into
contact with us. At the same time, many out there recognize that there is still
good on this planet. I believe this comes from situations like the video shows
below, or incidents like this one,
where a whale showed amazing appreciation
after being rescued from tangled nets.
Some
people might be reading this and saying “duh.” On the other hand, I’m sure this
video and these words will impact some in a positive way.
I
came across this video floating around on the internet. It’s about a homeless
dog who takes a 4 mile trip every night so she could feed her friends that were
also hungry. Those of you who have a dog will not be surprised by this at
all.

Be The Change: In honor of Lilica's example,
feed someone today who is hungry.
