Animals

 Saw this video. It showed a huge crocodile. The croc had a beautiful deer in its real cruel jaws that literally looked like two knives about to slash the poor deer in to half.

But, hey, something most unexpected happened. The croc had almost gobbled up the deer, but the alligator could feel that the stomach of its prey was undulating. In other words, that harshest amphibian realised that the prey was a doe, and was pregnant, moreover. Immediately, the doe was allowed to run away.

Well, i do not think it was a photoshopped, morphed video. True, there are cybercrimes of all the "verities" and varieties. Yet the video appeared genuine. It proved how the animal world is much better than the so-called sophisticated human world.

Well, the human world has lots of superficial niceties and  sophistication, but it is rarely humane. It is getting more and more self centred and selfish. In such a world, what matters the most is one's own immediate gain at any cost.

Post the LPG revolution, the world was to be glocal, a space where the entire universe would be at your fingertips literally. Well, in the process, people are getting to be inhuman beasts without much empathy, rather like the bots that may soon take over the (hopefully only the) manual run of the world. 

Animals are much better then. They live a basic life. May be, it is banal, but it is sure not beastly. How I wish one could say that of/about many an animals called human beings!
