Careful with your words

There are lots of times we enjoy the beauty of nature and do lots of things unintentionally and yet get bombed. I remember seeing a TV show sometime back on how animals protect themselves from predators. There was a small girl who was playing in the garden and was enjoying the beauty and nature. She was feeling all the flowers, the grass, the lovely butterflies and all other things in the garden. And in a moment her eyes were on a small creature that was walking past her. She had a great liking for animals and wanted to have fun with that animal. And the next moment she screamed and was bleeding in pain. Her mother came over and saw that her hand was bleeding and quickly gave her enough care. And her mom asked the girl how it happened. And she narrated what was happening and she saw an animal that was moving and when it was moving she wanted to cajole and have fun with that animal, but the animal was a bad animal and it pricked her in the finger. The mother was disturbed and ran out to be find what that animal was and it turned to be a porcupine. And it did so intentionally but to protect itself. But it did not understand the intention of the girl who wanted to have fun and play with her. We sometimes behave like the porcupine. When we hurt others though intentionally but to protect ourselves. Understanding that there is a high positive intention behind others action would definitely make us more careful toward hurting them. The needles we have are sometimes more vicious.
