A boy was
reading a book. He saw a picture of a camel. And according to the boy, that
camel was smiling! He ran with the book to his mother and showed her that
Smiling Camel’s picture.
Boy: “See
Mumma, this picture of a camel. “
Mother: “Yeah
let me see.”
Boy: “Don’t
you think it’s a Smiling Camel?”
Mother:
“Yes you are right. This camel seems to be happy.”
Boy: “One
day I had seen one camel sitting on the roadside. But that camel was very
sad... “
Mother:
“Ohh! But why you felt it was sad? “
Boy: “These
much big rope was passed through its nose!” He showed the size of the rope with
his little fingers. “And that rope was connected to the cart... “
After a
pause he continued…
“If
somebody passes that much big rope through our nose .... Are we going to feel
happy?”
Mother: “No
Beta, no one gonna feel happy like this... “
Boy: “But
why people do this to the animals? I have seen such rope used with horses and
bullocks too!”
Mother:
“People do this with animals to control them & train them to work for them.”
Boy: “They
should use some mask and make animals wear it instead of passing the rope
through the nose! At least it’ll not hurt them.”
Mother:”Yeah.
You are absolutely right Beta...”
I felt good
about my child that he can understand the emotions of the other and can feel
the pain - the other might have suffered. I could see it while he was
expressing his feelings. He was able to differentiate the happiness and sadness
between two camels.
Nowadays,
as my son has suggested, the Face Harness is available for the animals. The
option of online shopping for Harness is also available. I ask all of you to
please suggest Face Harness option to the animal owner when you see any nose
roped animal. Please feel the pain of an animal and don’t forget to share. It
might be possible the owner of the animal isn’t aware.
Well this discussion
made me think about the human nature. We, so called humans not only try to
control the animals but sometimes the other humans too. The virtual nose rope is
applied here! Ask the same question before being harsh to the other “If
somebody passes that much big rope through our nose .... Are we going to feel
happy?”
Understand
the pain you pass through your harsh behavior, words and acts. After certain
level regrets of the past doesn’t work to improve the healthiness in the relationships.
So it’s the time become proactive. To think before we say or react. Any
situation or relation can be well maintained with positive emotions and
understanding the pain of the other.
A change in
our own behavior will make the difference in the smiles people give us in
reply. We’ll be able to feel the ripples of the happiness initiated in the pond
of life. And that will be perfect picture of life similar to this Smiling Camel…
