Looking down is an attitude we often use. We look down when someone makes a raucous laugh in the library, when someone slips and land on their backsides, when someone wears clothing or shoes which are cheap and tawdry. And we look down most on persons who are ill behaved, quarreling, taking bribes,road hogs etc. But we look down most on persons taking innocent lives, maiming others for life, destroying families,whom they have never met.....
Sometimes creatures from another kingdom, look down on us with amazement as to why we are forsaking lives and life itself, bent on a path of self-destruction, creating discord and animosity. Why are youngsters falling prey to committed personnel ? Why do women have no qualms in self destruction?
This pigeon settled down on the small iron bar and looked right and left.Then it glanced down and liked what it saw. It muttered to itself--"and these humans talk derogatorily about pigeon brains...at least we do not, like cowards, kill each other....
The morning light has just fallen on the buildings in the city--will it at least light up our conscience?
