Sometimes, we fear helping those who need our aid the most.
We look away from homeless people because the symptoms that go along with it are ugly. We pretend not to notice the crying stranger by our side, because what can we really do to help? And in this case, people walked right past this stray dog because they feared being bitten.
Of course, a stray would lash out, right? He was scared and stuck in a gate for unknown reasons. Maybe he was sick or perhaps he carried rabies. Rather than helping their fellow creature, people decided to walk right by because fear is often stronger than love.
However, one man was filled with mercy at the sight of the stray. He knew the terrified animal might bite him, but he took a risk anyway.
The result was compassion, and a little bit of mercy can go a very long way. In this case, it touched the hearts of over two million people, according to Animal Aid Unlimited of India.
And perhaps this video will touch your heart too. Remember, in some way, all of us are just a dog stuck in a gate. Some of our issues are more obvious than others, but all of us are going through something right now. A drop of mercy and a welcoming ear can go a long way.
If you believe in helping those who are stuck or in need, then please SHARE this inspiring video to remind your fellow humans of the power of compassion.
