It's not all suffering in this life. There are happy moments and Mother Nature has much beauty to display. It has not yet all been destroyed by man.
There is much joy to find - like breathtaking mountains and valleys, green meadows and streams, woodlands carpeted with bluebells, majestic rivers and sparkling oceans. The world is full of colours and smells and winds scented with the perfume of blooms.
We still have about half of our wildlife left.
Birds sing still and fly the skies; some animals still roam free despite man's perpetual hunting and butchery.
There are many who pray for peace and an end to animal cruelty. There are those compassionate souls who risk their lives to help all birds, animals AND sea creatures - hoping for the day when all fellow beings will be treated fairly and kindly.
Those enlightened ones can only hope their numbers grow and that one day human attitudes towards other life will become more compassionate and understanding.
Those who scoff at animal activist and environmentalist ideals walk a nightmare road to self extermination, to a world of darkness and nothing. For it is not just a question of animal protection and pollution.
It's about morality - an essential essence of our society and us as individuals and a need for humans to advance to a higher plane of understanding.
