Every time I happen to witness a random act of kindness and
selflessness, my trust in the good of humanity grows generously. A dove
hung upside down from the topmost branch of a naked tree by what seemed
to be a piece of thread that acted as glue binding the poor thing with
apparent death. A guy who sold roadside burgers and his friend along
with some neighborhood children took the onus upon themselves to try and
help the bird. It was a tough task as the branches at the top half of
the tree seem frail. With a lot of effort and unsolicited risk their
endeavor finally turned fruitful. The bird struggled in maintaining a
fair balance in its crash to the road only to be rescued once again from
getting crushed under a precarious tire. The string was removed from
its legs to set its spirit free. The bird was weary but all right. In
about ten minutes of the rescue it began to rain profusely confirming
the fact that the creature had fluttered on slippery grounds in that
delicate hour. This incident once again brought the fragility of life
back to me.
