In a
vast steppes, a set of Meerkat (Ind.: Mongoose) is preparing to return to the
nest. By evening, a fox crept
toward the nest. Knowing
this, the parent Meerkat immediately put the body in the nest entrance. He was
ready to fight to protect her children. The
next morning, the battle scars overnight with wolves force the meerkat’s parent
last breath.
In another hemisphere, a
pair of birds building nests near Grebe lake inhabited by crocodiles. Once when the crocodile
was very hungry, Grebe chicks are still too
weak to be crocodile’s food. Parent
birds know it and immediately pretended hurt to distract the crocodile. Seeing
other larger dining, the crocodile follow where the mother bird away. As she shuffled like a
mortally wounded, the parent birds Grebe risking his life so that the crocodile
away from her children.
Two stories above is not a fictional story. Grebe bird and meerkats are just 2 of the many creatures of God given instinct of compassion. There are many other creatures that God showed his affection with a variety of ways. Especially humans, which was given the mandate as the inheritors of the earth, the absolute has the affectionate nature. Without it, the position as the leader in the face of the earth will only bring misfortune.
When young, Grebe chicks
feed her mother found hairs or feathers of his own. It is intended that
these feathers form a filter in the stomach chicks, which would prevent the
entry of fish spines into the digestive tract.
When we were kids, our
parents are very careful with what we eat. When we are sick, we are
the ones that most parents worry about the condition of our bodies. They think very best
education that will be given to us. With all the sacrifices
they made, how should we reply?
There's
no way we give back what they have given. But as
a child, our obedience, our devotion, respect, attention, and affection we do, are
the things that will make them happy to have us as their sons and daughters. (Aan)
