There is a story was told that
there is a merchandise man who loves to feed a parrot as his pet. He has almost
ten of them. In one of the ten there is
one parrot can speak a human language. So whenever the man feels up set or
tired from his work he would talk with his lovely parrot. One day as he sold
his product to his customer as usual there is something happen. His customer was
really mind about the price of product, and they could not reach the agreement
of the price so finally they have got a fight. They punched each other face
just like the boxer does. The story has exploded and the police came then they
were taken to the police station. After a while the court decided to detain
both of them in the jail for one night. In the next morning the man came out
and went to his house with frowning face. He was very upset for what has happened
to him. He felt like he was going to the
hell to sleep in the cell for one night. He was grumble while he was walking on
the road. When he arrived his home he could not keep these such of bad thing he
has faced in his mind anymore, so he went directly toward his parrot, and began
to tell it what he was felt about when he was in the jail. So the word began: “Hey!
My dear parrot! How are you? I am so miss you. You know what happened to me
yesterday? I was going to the hell. I was in the jail. You know what! I felt
like I want to die. It is an indescribable feeling. I am pretty sure you won’t
be able to know how I feel.” Didn’t wait too long! The parrot replied “How come
you said I won’t be able to understand about your feeling to sleep in that cell
for one night? You should not have said
so. You just been there only one night, and you said you felt like you are
going to the hell. What about me? You have kept me in this cage almost four to
five years. Don’t you understand my feeling? You should have asked me how I
feel. But you didn’t. Not even a time.” Then turn out his face without any word
to answer his parrot. The next morning he came to the parrot, and said “Yeah
you are right my dear and you are now free to go.” So he opened the cage and
let all of his parrots to go and live its own way.
Let me finish this story from
this moment. I know I am not a good narrator, so the melody is not really smooth.
But all I do want to say is that most of us tend to put ourselves just only on
our own shoes why don’t we try to put ourselves in other shoes? We are
corrupting on our own nature. We are destroying the beauty of our own world. How
come we said we are the same kind of animals? I admit that as a human we have a
special level or the upper level than the other kind of animal. So that is why
we do this? Love them, want to take care of them by keeping them and putting
them in those fucking cage? If that is so, I would say thank and million thank
to all of us who love these animal. But listen! Can I ask you for a small
favor? Can we love as the way they are? I mean loving them by letting them live
their own way. Let them live happily with their family, and their real home. We
have our own family, and so they do. What do we think if there is somebody took
you away from your family, and love you like their own son or daughter but
detain you in the cage as the merchandise man did. I think you have got an
image or a picture about that thing. I think it is a time we do need to
consider about what we are doing right now. From the early age until now, we
have been doing so many things to destroy our world. The war and genocide were
happened in every part of the world. Is that what we pay back to the world? How
long can we live our lives? 100 years? 99,88,77,60? You say it. Why don’t we
just sharing a love to this world before we’re gone.
