today, while waiting for the bus, i was watching a hurt pigeon trying to fly but for some strange reason it couldn't. i could tell though that one of it's legs was hurt as i just seemed to flop and the pigeon hobbled when trying to walk. the pigeon waws also breathing very fast and deeply so it probably didn't have long to live, or was so frightened by having everyone around it and it couldn't fly away. i felt really sorry for it and i really wanted to help it but i knew that even if i managed to grab it there was nothing i could really do as i don't know where i would take it to help.
i really hate just standing by while watching something struggle. it makes me sad and useless. it's like when you see a documentary on tv about animals and the person documenting it can't do anything to help an animal, even though they can tell the animal is going to die. it's makes you think that while humans have some hardships, they don't really compare to the hardships most wilds animals go through just to survive.
another thing that bothered me was that at the time, i was also listening to 'Karma Police' by Radiohead. and i'm a strong believer in karma. it made my guilt for not helpong the pigeon stronger as it felt like if i don't help the pigeon, is karma going to do to me. but i'm going to have to live with whatever karma is going to do as i didn't help the pigeon and just got on the bus. am i a bad person for not having the strength to do anything or was i right by not interfering in nature. who knows.
p.s. i'll let you all know if karma bites my ass.
have a good one people.
