What I feel..... seeing the world on 'Animal Planet'

Our surroundings are filled with wonderful and beautiful things.  We are born here to love the world around us. Looking to these things, we could realize they come from peaceful minds. Peace, Health, and Happiness, these things are gift from the Universe, which are invisible to the naked eyes.

In the wild, there are a variety of animals, such as deer, zebra, leopard, cheetah, hyena, lion, elephant, and so on.  They wake up in the sun, search for meals, take a rest, and chase game again. In the evening, they find the safe bed and sleep. A day is over and another day begins. This happens for good.

Wild animals have been trained to be successful hunters since babies. They fight the enemies and kill each other to survive.  They live in a family or in a group to enjoy their own lives.  Especially, small animals need a group to keep themselves from being attacked by predators. They travel to a safer place , helping each other. The other kinds of animals are intruders.  That is animals’ nature.

What about human beings?

We can’t live together with wild animals, even though we’d love to. We might have been raised just to love all living things, and help each other.  We adore animals, our family, friends, and nature.  Also, we are able to respect each other. We could respect the different way of livings. This is our nature, I believe.

We know deep down that true happiness consists in a peaceful mind.

However, something that we overlook at the moment might turn us to the dangerous existence. 

For what do they cause pain to innocent people?  How come they can kill people without feeling their pain?  The most formidable thing is that we are controlled by others, or we try to control others.  Those who can’t understand others’ pain are the most unhappy.

We should look to the gift given to us in the universe. We would like to get rid of something wrong in our hearts. We could live a happy moment all the time. Don’t you think that?

I love tales from Moominvalley.
