I Killed ...
I was so upset this evening...i killed a small bird...probably a baby bird..
I was driving towards a friend's place to pick her for dinner with my housemates when i actually saw a bird standing in the middle of the road. I tried to avoid it, but somehow the bird moved and it was run over by my car tyres....
The worst thing was..it didnt die immediately. As i drove on, i looked through my rear mirror and i saw the bird struggling on the road. It was flapping its wing relentlessly but the damage was really great..it could barely move. It was an aweful sight for me!
When i picked up my friend and drove past that bird again, it was still struggling. However, standing beside it was another bird which i believed was related to the dying bird. I couldnt imagine how it felt for that bird to see its own kind on the verge of death. Shortly soon, the struggling bird stopped moving. It ceased to exist. It died..
I was really upset....i killed a life....=(
But how many times are we like that bird whereby we stand in the middle of danger and when we get knocked down, our friends can do more than watch because we are beyond the point of reconciliation? And one thing for sure, it's painful for your friends to watch you struggle, cause you are one of us!
