Friendship knows no bound!

“Friendship without self interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life.” (James Francis Byrnes). This is seen in the friendship of these creatures which are totally different from one another. They did not mind of what they are. They enjoy each other’s company playing whenever they are free. Though they came from a different herd, they don’t see each other as an enemy.

When we compare it to what is happening to most of the people in this world, it is very depressing. Humanity is in the state of war. Nation fights against nation, government officials quarrel, brothers, sisters parents and even husband and wife kill one another.

They keep on making themselves powerful even if this means the loss of many. They don’t give a damn to those who are suffering instead they use them to amass more wealth without satisfaction on what they have. It seems that only material things matter most to them. They become insensitive. Understanding and loving are not anymore the part of their system.

Now here is a rare friendship coming from the lowest kind of being, a perfect example of a one true friend. Aren’t we ashamed of ourselves to these animals which are capable to care and to love to any body without thinking of personal gain?

Though, they don’t share the same thought, same dilemma they still have ways to express their own emotion towards each other. How lucky these animals are for knowing such friendship that could remind and inspire us to trust and make friends to anyone that friendship could be possible regardless of race and status in life. If this kind of friendship is totally gone in men, I wish I was not one of them.

As human as we are, given by God with heart and mind to think and feel for the good of His creation, why don’t we treat one another as friends and trust one another’s goodness as the cow, pig and dog? True friendship knows no bound. Even the wildest animal can be tamed and be friends with everybody. What is needed is sincerity in order to gain loyalty.

Friendship knows no bound even to those different species, kind of weird, still very wonderful, because God created them in a way different from each other still; they have their own ways in comforting another. God gave them ability to understand things on their own. They became each other’s pillar, to support the other whenever they are on their on weakest. This friendship is what the world needs today.
