*Thanks for all the concern
thanks for everything, friends(fellow bloggers or otherwise), over e demise of the kittens. It was a humbling experience and a timely lesson, just as i found myself engulfed by worldly materialism. Cos i was looking for a job and trying to earn my own keep, and that became more important than actually living life as it shd be lived. It reminded that compassion is the nectar of the human spirit...er, some kind of analogy, but can't come up with anything better. It just felt so terrible when i realised how consumed pple were by materialism, or perhaps misinformed and lack certain compassion, that the lives of a few little kittens were worthless in their eyes. At least that was how it seemed 2 be. I thank God for letting the kittens come into my life for those few brief moments, for allowing them to stop me from becoming a heartless cad. I thank God for allowing me a chance 2 truly realise that the easier way is NOT always e best way out. Maybe letting e SPCA take away e kittens would have saved a lot of heartbreak, effort and money, but as jiahui said, it was simply not e best way out. It's wrong to kill a life, not only abt e bad karma and stuff but simply cos it's wrong. I'm just glad i din succumb to temption 2 seek e easiest way out, 2 hand them over to SPCA, for humane but not necessarily the best treatment. I think i did e best i could, with my limited knowledge and resources. Although there will always be the nagging feeling that there's something more i could have done, but at least i din let my conscience, myself down. So, rem, everyone can make a difference with a little compassion, thing is whether we choose 2 use it or not. The more we use it, the more we have, the less we use it, the more the supply depletes...
