It’s
not easy to write about compassion, a most talked about thing and the least
understood. Quote after quote, Facebook posts and Whatsapp, but compassion is
rarely there in actual life. That you see mostly is the very selfish love out of
reasons and needs.
A
few days back a small bird came in our living room through the front door. It went
straight to the balcony closed with bird net. It tried from every hole and a
little later, another of its clan came and sat on the bird net on the other
side---the free outside world. They both tried for some time and the free bird
came near a comparatively bigger hole in the corner, and lo, the trapped one immediately
flew through the big hole in the corner. I don’t know what they communicated
and how…but yes, a friend in need is a friend indeed!
