A Heart of Love

There are a variety of things we can do to make the world warmer and more harmonious. Some of the things, small as they may be, will make a great difference to any living creature that is helped by us. Just a few days ago, I observed a warm and moving scene, in which the deeds of a father and his son to a small lonely feral cat, which moved me deeply. 

It was on a cold winter afternoon, the wind was fierce and there was light snow. I was walking around a shopping center when I noticed a middle-aged man and his young son squatting beside a car, looking into the narrow space under the car and talking with each other in a quite small voice. Out of my curiosity, I walked up towards them so that I could have a closer observation. Finally I saw there was a little cat sleeping under that car, quietly and peacefully. I talked to the man and knew that the father and the son just came out from the shopping mall and was about to drive their car home, and that was the moment they found the sleeping cat under their car. There is no doubt that driving their car away now would startle or even hurt the cat. And the father and the son were just discussing what to do. After a while, they stood up and walked towards a grocery store, and soon went out with a box of milk and sausage. The father gently fondled and woke up the cat, then carried the cat beside a tree. The son hurried into their car and took out an old cushion, a comfortable new bed for the feral cat! On that cold windy afternoon, there appeared a cozy picture: a little feral cat lying on a cushion, and enjoying her warm lunch, a sausage and a box of milk.

Seeing such a scene, my heart was filled with a certain kind of complex feeling and thought. It is not an uncommon thing to see feral cats and dogs on the street. How many times have we ever thought that they might have been starved for several days? Or might they be just be abandoned by their masters and lost their home even parents or children? Or even worse, they might be suffering from certain diseases and would die soon! Unfortunately however, for most of the times, we just go away after having a glance of them. 

The deeds of the father and the son to the little feral cat reminded me that there are, indeed, a number of things we can do to warm our world. Perhaps for most of us, to buy a box of milk and a sausage is such a small thing that may easily forgotten by us. However, only a few of people choose to do it when faced with such situations. I used to see some people driving fast on the road, when a small creature, a cat, a dog, or a bird, happened to run onto the road and stopped in the way in front of them, they even would not bother to stop their car, but just drive directly, hurting or even killing those innocent lives. Since we are all living creatures on the earth, and we are all residents in our common home, why is it that some people’s hearts could be so cruel and cold?

I was not the only person who saw the scene at that time. Actually, what the father and the son did attracted many people’s eyes. Although there were still some people considered it a bothering thing to help the feral cat; most of them still showed their admiration to the pair of father and son. I believe, that is where the meaning of such good deeds lies. That is, to arose and waken up the kindness and sympathy that lying deep in people’s hearts.

Of course, this is only one of the things people can do to help small creatures and warm our world. If we observe our life carefully with a heart of love, we can find a variety of opportunities where we can contribute out efforts. The observation of one thing may create a new starting point of a long journey, and that is the greatest significance of this single deed.

Everyone owns a heart of love. As long as we observe our world carefully and sincerely offer our help to those who need it, our action of kindness, small as it may be, will make a big difference after continuous insistence. Our world will sure to become much warmer and more harmonious.
