A Statement, A car and Crazy dog.
Sunday, February 8, 2009 || Sunday, February 08, 2009
Once on a typical weekday morning, I was on my way to school in a public vehicle. I saw this dog. I don't know what kind of dog it is but one thing is sure, he is running for his life because in a highway full of rushing cars, this dog was chasing his owner.
At first, I was really startled and I said to myself, "loko loko naman pala itong asong to e! gusto yata magpakamatay hinahabol yung kotse." Then, a man on the back said, "Hinahabol ata yung amo. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk." I caught myself thinking about that statement, the car and the crazy poor dog.
In that particular encounter, I came to realize an unpleasant reality in this world.
Imagine how people tend to give everything for their special someone. Loving, trusting and doing everything just to win their heart, even if it means risking their own lives. This is the persona I can see through the dog. On the other hand, there will be unappreciative people who just never had the time to care. This is the persona I can see through the dog's owner.
In the situation of the dog and the car, The owner heartlessly left his dog. But, the dog chose to be with its owner, even to the point of risking its life chasing its owner in a highway with just a little chance of survival, just to prevent being apart from him.
Then I thought in conclusion that
because of too much love, sadly, people tend to be blind.With those last thoughts, I found myself feeling pity for the poor dog and wishing that it is still alive. At the same time, I was unable to hold my tears and I gently released a silent cry.
