What is our world made of?

It is made of with two types of people: one is gentle and loving but the other harsh and cruel.

A few weeks ago, I read in the newspaper about the trials of two young burglars for "nuking" a house cat to death in a microwave oven. Normally I do not believe jail times are effective punishments. But in this case, I do pray that the sentences to punish the guilty ones are a long and severe one.

Then today at a neighborhood pet supplies store, I am pleased to see the other side of our world.
At the store, a young good-looking fellow asked the proprietor for some bird foods. He told the store owner he found a badly injured bird on the street yesterday and thought it would soon die. Instead of leaving it die on the street, he took it home. This morning he did not find a dead bird but found the injured bird had drunk some of the water he put out for the patient. So he decided to get some proper foods for the bird. With a big grin on his face he told us he will release the bird when it is well enough to go.

Hurrah! - Ayee
