The wisdom of life
What do you think about this picture? Two lovers hugging tightly—even their tails are intertwined in the form of a heart! I really like it. They are not ashamed of their tenderness and love; they are so good and wonderful together! This beauty and tenderness should be an example for everyone!
Who said that cats get used to their home, and not to their owners? Who said that cats give birth to kittens—only to forget about them? No—this is not always true! Some people, unfortunately, do this, and then in old age they of course cannot forgive themselves for abandoning their children, who live their lives without parental love. What a difficult situation.
Many of you may have seen a video on the internet where a cat brings food to a puppy. She feeds him every day, warms him with her body, and loves him like her own kitten. Recently, my youngest grandson and I decided to read a story about a stray cat who gave birth to four kittens and continued taking care of them even after they had already grown up (and should have been taking care of themselves). The cats lived next to a shore. Picture this: four plump cats sitting next to the water, not wanting to get their paws yet! The mother cat ventures into the water, which goes all the way up to her neck, catches a small fish, and then brings her kittens ashore and feeds them. What a nice arrangement! Those cats sure got lucky with their mom—something that everyone wants.
My grandchildren are very fond of their pets: their cat, Elvis, and their German shepherd, Lady. From an early age, these animals have lived together side by side. When they were younger, Elvis would tease Lady, climbing onto her cage and sticking his paw down into it. Recently, their family moved to a new city. Now they can fit a lot more on their house’s first floor, including pets. The cat has become even more insolent and, from time to time, forces his friend out of her bed, stretches his entire body out on the bed, and enjoys a long rest! Lady, being the well-behaved dog that she is, leaves her bed and lies down on the floor. The family enjoys watching these friends. It’s like something out of a story
Here’s another example of the caring attitude of animals towards others. Read this poem and tell me, how did you feel after reading it? Knowing that some animals are often kinder to their owners than the other way around, that they are happy to love and care for others without demanding anything in return, and are ready to understand the feelings of unhoused animals (and people!).
Removing a puppy from his coat,
A man, to his cat, said:
“Look at this, my gray friend! Forget about mice:
For now, take care of our baby—and be nice.
Will you raise him?”
“Meow,” said the cat in agreement.
And immediately he was puzzled by many things -
He warmed him up, and comforted him, and sang a song.
And then the conversation started about sciences:
How to drink from a saucer, how to ask for the yard,
How to drive a rooster and grumpy geese ...
Time passed quickly for new friends.
Over the spring, spring, behind a blizzard, a blizzard ...
Instead of a crybaby puppy, there was a handsome male.
And, taking everything in this life,
Under the garden bush the cat rested.
The Master stroked the hushed dog for a long time ...
And then he said, looking up to the heavens:
“We are all mortal, shaggy ... But know that the soul
Very soon the kid will enter the other! "
The dog listened, as if he could understand him,
And ... in the evening I brought the kitten home.
Also - gray! With a white spot on the chest! ..
Say, strictly, Master, do not judge me!
See the little one crying? Pour milk!
I'll be the uncle for the cat for now ...

Sometimes, we see how bad some people have it in life; they might have lost their jobs, homes, relatives, or even themselves! We see them on the street, sitting on a park bench or even lying on the ground. Early in the morning, they roll shopping carts down the street, hungry and tired.
Unhoused people have a hard and sad life. I once saw a TV program about the French unemployed (called “clochards”) who spend all their time on the streets, sleeping in cardboard boxes under bridges, and are happy with their lives. Is this true? How does this situation people make others feel?
Do we always want to help them? Let’s take an example from animals! Recently, I saw a Facebook post about a dog carrying food to other stray dogs at night. Why does the dog doing this? Probably, in her heart she wants to help the other unfortunate dogs, realizing how hard it is for them to live. How noble!
Recently I saw a photo inside a store in America. The storeowner, pitying the stray dogs nearby, lets them in at night allowing them to keep warm and lie on bedspreads and blankets! This is wonderful!
“Compassion for animals is so closely related to kindness of character that it’s safe to say that one who is cruel to animals cannot be a kind person.”
— Arthur Schopenhauer
A traffic cop dies and appears before God.
God asks, “Well, what are you, my son, did you do good to people and animals?”
“Yes, it happened.”
“And evil?”
“Yes, that too.”
“Well, here are two roads for you, one to heaven, the other to hell. Whichever you choose, you will get there.”
“Can I stay here in between?” My dear readers! Try not to stay at the intersection. Be kind and sympathetic! I wish you success!
