ON ADOPTION

Good samaritans putting up orphaned and displaced dogs for adoption in a dog eat dog world, now that's what I call "an irony to beat all ironies"....


People today are so full of themselves and obsessed with getting ahead in a rat race that ensures that you remain nothing more than a rat at the end of it all that they have forgotten to make time for their parents and offspring let alone dogs, cats and canaries...

In fact, I sometimes feel that these so called dumb animals are much better off than the so called superior race called homo sapiens who have all but forgotten sublime feelings like love, brotherhood, fraternity, loyalty, sympathy and empathy; or more precisely conveniently sacrificed all these sublimal feelings at the altar of mammon and amassing material wealth......

Let's all look deep into our own hearts and souls; if indeed we have either one or both left and take a leaf out of these kindred animals books who become yours for life and beyond the moment you feed them and reach out to them with a sense and of empathy and love.....

These blessed souls expect nothing more than food and love in return for a lifetime of selfless service, soulful devotion and friendship and companionship in the truest sense of the term.....

One can only wonder and shake his head in consternation at the sorry plight of a supposedly superior race that has to look down upon a purportedly inferior race for guidance and inspiration.....

Didn't Bertrand Russell once famously say that "man is the most dangerous animal and an educated man is the most dangerous of them all", well he must have foreseen this rather pitiable state of affairs well before he made this timely and insightful comment
