Of all animals in the
universe,
man is the only one who
eats without being hungry,
drinks without being
thirsty and
talks without having
something to say.
“WHEN A SWALLOW FALLS”
Here a female mate is
injured and the condition is soon fatal. She was hit by a car as
she swooped low across the road.
Here he brought her
food and attended to her with love and compassion.
He brought her food
again, but was shocked to find her dead.
He tried to move her
.... A rarely-seen effort for swallows!
Aware that his
sweetheart is dead and will never come back to him again, he
cries with adoring love.
He stood beside her,
saddened by her death.
Finally aware she would never return to him, he stayed beside her
body chirping out his sadness and sorrow.
Millions of people
cried after seeing these photos in America, Europe, Australia,
and even India.
The photographer sold these pictures for a nominal fee to the
most famous newspaper in France. All copies of that edition were
sold out on the day these pictures were published.
Many people think animals don't have brains or feelings?
You have just
witnessed Love and Sorrow felt by all living creatures.
"May all beings
be well and happy"- Gautama.
"Refrain from
evil,
aim always at doing
good,
this way you cleanse
your mind
-your most
powerful weapon"!!
