Among All of Mankind

there's a well inside of me that longs for more empathy. it starts with the creatures man mistreats. this negative action is ceased with the growth of the heart -- something man must fine tune like a work of art. we should watch out for the little ones who mistreat their pets. these could lead to serial killers as studies have shown. if they like animals, encourage them to be vets. there's a well inside of me that longs for more empathy. we should watch our attitudes towards all the divine creation. even buddists have respect for all life -- including insects -- by not bringing them death. "no-kill" shelters can be the best for unwanted pets. maybe these small actions can lead to the end of wars, racism, sexism, classism and violence. plant the good grains of kindness. there's a well inside of me that longs for more empathy to spread like wild flowers in the summer among all of mankind.
