"For the animal shall not

be measured by man.

In a world older and more complete than ours, they move finished and complete.
Gifted with the extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained.
Living by voices we shall never hear."

This video is painful to watch. Don't doubt that.

But it is powerful in its pain, poignancy and truth. Jolting in its plain blank reminder that whatever pain we feel as we are watching the scenes, that pain is but a shadow of the intensity we, as the human species, are inflicting on 'them'.

By feeling their pain, the sickening shudder in your heart, I guess it tells you so clearly that there is no 'them'.

WE are all in this together. And we all know it.

I normally would choose not to watch such videos. But today I chose otherwise.

Many scenes are heartrending. My heart turned cold at many screens.

But rather than let this painful reality shock us and merely make us cry, let it shock us into STANDING UP and LOOKING AT OUR WORLD -- TODAY -- in a different light.

Do NOT waste one more day in childish ignorance. One more day of keeping silent when you witness a wrong act on the streets. One more chance of re-aligning the thoughts of the ignorant who are making wrong choices cos they know no better. One more day of letting the media teach your children the wrong things when you should be the guiding light.

Be shocked by what you see. Be saddened. Be revolted. Those are normal reactions showing that you are still connected to our sentient beings sharing our earth.

Then, BE MOVED to make a change. In every little encounter in your day, YOU CAN MAKE A CHOICE. Show others a better way.

A KINDER choice.

And through that choice, you are changing lives for the better little by little. And it all comes full circle. Your heart will be at peace. Little by little.
