We learn the most from those closest to us
I already forget when was like that, I started to feel our lives is useless and hopeless. Since long times ago, I am not a person who can sit in sofa and look at photos about my pass with any one else, I hate to run back my childhood in the extreme, because I have been loss many of my “friends” in my childhood. I had learned a lot from those closest “friends” about how weak we are and that also include the whole life-form in the world.
It is long time ago, when I was only half meter tall, I was love to watching one of the smallest and strongest insect, ants. Every day, I went to the garden, and put some food for them, for a little while, there were been hundreds of ants came to took the food away piece by piece, they were work wondrously hard than any other life-term I have been met before. Once, I have saw many ants fight against a big grasshopper, even they have be hurt, they were still tightly gnaw at the huge grasshopper who were ate their “work efforts”, but finally, the grasshopper was flied away, man ants lost their lives. I can’t understand why they are needed to protect their food and have the courage to fight a huge ‘monster’, which is 50 times bigger than them. I often saw they were moved their baby and queen. In my observed, they also have wars between each others. Not long time ago, I have saw the sight of all that blood in my garden, there was two groups thousands of ants were fight in my garden, they were organized three or five together fight with one ant, the other group which have less ants can only use their ‘soldiers’ life to buy time to move their children that not hatch and their queen away as soon as possible. Is that not reflected about us, human being, in the long human history, we were like the small ants to fight and grab anything that could makes our life better, people often live in war time, what we did might been even worst than the small ants. Even they were much small than us, they never been surrounded to any enemy and never abandon any members, they use their life to protect the future of their whole family. According to my observation, they always collect their dead ‘family’ members together at one play, they put their dead friends together at one place, that represented they never leave their members, whatever they live or not. Those small ‘fighters’ are every where close to us, I learned about the whole life about the world, because human and ants are very similar, only solidarity can bring survive.
For me, I have also had those analogous experience, I love animals, every kinds of animals, so that I had many pets before, even now, I still have 8 dogs and a rabbit. But their live is much shorter than us, every time, when they were sick and died, I really feel very grieve about their gone; their death hurt my heart more than any others. I was very along before, my dad and mom are busy every single days, my mom was strict with me, as the results, I was often not allowed to go out with friends to play with; consequently, pets become the NO. 1 friend during my leisure time at home, but their life were extremely short and weak, or maybe not only them but also me. Remembered, one of my best friend was a dog, ‘he’ was been bought by my father when I was five ‘he’ was four years old; ’he’ was big enough allowed me to sit on his back, he have really long pliancy hair, he was soft and lovely dogs, every day when I came back from the school he was waited me at the first door of my home, until I am back. Year by year, as I grow up, his bear became white and every time when I came back, he was lied on my feet and cried for a while like an real grandfather, and then used his big tongue to licked my hands; before, he might stood up and licked my face., also he didn’t has the power to take a walk with me, every day, he just lie down at his bed, except eating, he did want to move a little bit; although he is old, I am still love him like before. Pleasant time fly past, one day, when I was back home, I couldn’t see his figure that every day are waiting for me, I knew nothing can stopped him to came to salute me, when I went into the door, I saw him lie in his small house serenely as slept, hereafter he never been waked again, one of my best friend leaved me and, we may never have chance to met his again, I cried, never like this time before, he was like half of me, whenever what I am doing, he was there lied next to me, if I give him more care, he might not died so soon; if I spend more time with him, I might not feel that repent. But the truth is there is not if happen, when I lost it, it will never come back to you again.
We lives like ants every day work hard, but we didn’t like ants take care about our friends and family and protect them like ants did, people are still on the start point of anagenesis, we are selfish and can’t see so far about futures, the future is not only belong to us, there are still many others life in the world, but I will not be the trailblazer, I will only be a protector, who will protect others life nears me, I learned to love others, not only human, but also other kind of life-term who are friendly to us, my attitude tend to the world one day if all the human being can solidarity like ants, and take care about your surrounding area, the world will be paradise for us and all the other life.
