'revenge' and 'hate' lead to destruction. It only burns and destroys the lives of the very ones who display these negative emotions. One can't be fuelled by bitterness. It can eat you up but it cannot drive you. There is no end to it.<br /><br />'Revenge' and 'Grief' go hand-in-hand... pretty much like the saying: "If winter comes can spring be far behind"... no matter what genus/species/family one belongs to.<br /><br />Every living being feels the same emotions... in a similar manner. Afterall, the 'soul' is distinct from the 'body' - the 'outward appearance' or the 'outer covering'. It functions in a uniform manner across species. It does not escape the cycle of 'Karma'... irrespective of the 'outer shell'.<br /><br />Yet they (both hate and revenge) are important emotions.<br /><br />Certain living beings live by 'their' set of rules... no matter what. <br /><br />We, the humans... have a favourite saying: "jaanwar ban jata hai", "jaanwar ki tarah behave karta hai" etc. Is that really so... ???<br /><br /><br />P.S. You are right... this story has several layers. The more one thinks.. the more it unfolds :)<br /><br />And even then... leaves the reader with the feeling... that "perhaps there is more to it"...Roshmi Sinhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17514206548071810133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217471848749520142.post-11785302703545184422009-11-03T09:33:45.981+05:302009-11-03T09:33:45.981+05:30hey.. this is nice!

I mean do the topic have different perceptions and interpretations ?<br /><br />Lemmi write what i perceived....<br /><br />"He took revenge by killing the culprits of his children's death and then mourned....."<br /><br />Is it all about? Is there something else beyond my bounded perceptional levels?<br /><br />But still.... within the virtual bounds of my perceptional horizons, i liked this unique topic verrrrrrrry much. The naturalist and anthropologist in me felt the emotional empathy to the maximum of those canines. The evolutionist went on digging the analysis well. The rationalist did raise some obscure questions. <br />It is a great combination as far as my perception is concerned. Almost a feast for my thought process.<br /><br /><br />Keep writing....<br />Kudos to you buddy..... <br /><br />cheers,<br />maheshMahesh Aadhya Kalalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08671369216676666618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217471848749520142.post-69219702150993335972009-11-02T18:20:49.769+05:302009-11-02T18:20:49.769+05:30@ Mahesh: Thanks for stopping by my blog and for a...@ Mahesh: Thanks for stopping by my blog and for all the generous and kind words :)<br /><br />Now... let me explain:<br /><br />We - the Homo sapiens sapiens - think ourselves to be the most superior species on this planet (and beyond).
