How many times do we come across situations where we find deprived animals in pain? And how many times we merely close our eyes, either pretending that someone else will take care of their pain, or assuming that this happens to many animals, so this one can’t be exclusion? I think this happens to me almost everyday! And I am sure this is the case with almost all of us, unless you are in a house arrest, or really blind (in that case you won’t be reading this blog at all, unfortunately).
It was yesterday when I was out for a lunch at a nearby place, when I saw this poor dog licking his wound (a severe one) on one of his shoulders. I whistled and he came to me wagging his tail despite of his pain which I could see in his eyes. I felt as if he was asking me something, but as usual, I sidelined him, assuming that this is the law of nature. I am sad about this incident. We have become so selfish that we care only about ourselves. We work from Monday to Friday, and on Fridays we think about options to spend time on weekends. On 30th/31st of every month, we wait for our salaries, and the time goes by like this for ever. Yes, this is our life these days. There is a need for us to change the way we live, and I would like to hear from anyone who wishes to contribute on how we can do that? Views are most welcome...

Pain is relative .......... Realgood slaughters 60,000 chicken a day.. is it fair?
How can you help? I have a suggestion .. Much closer to our office if you donate 100 Rs to Karunashraya, it will take 1 hr bone crunching pain of 1 patient.. ( morphine dose)
I am sure the number is in lakhs, rather than thousands. And this can be a debatable topic. Of course it is not fair, but I will be belittled by tons of arguments by non-vegetarians :)
The issue that I highligted is slightly different. It talks about a situation where I want to help but am somehow pulled back (maybe because of people around me, or etc.). Also, I can't go ahead and donate money because of own commitments, unfortunately. Moreover, doing good through a third party will not give me satisfaction.
I think the way out here will be to experience the joy of helping others on our own! maybe i could have called a vet on the site to take care of the poor animal.
what say?
