The torch of humanity

Based on a true story at Amity campus, this is about a wounded dog and humanity


One fine afternoon, during my lunch break, I was heading towards the cafeteria to grab a can of cold coffee . Just outside the cafe, I noticed a stray dog, sitting awkwardly. Not untill he stood up did I noticed that the poor thing has badly hurt his right hind leg. The cafeteria was amidst an array of several food stalls including a department store and as a result, the place was overcrowded. I thought of feeding the poor dog for long but couldn't do it just out of mere embarrassment. I left the place with my can of coffee, ashamed and disgusted with myself. 


The next day I returned, determined to feed the dog. I bought a packet of biscuit and went towards the dog. As I threw a biscuit which fell a bit too far away from the dog(horrible aim) the dog looked at me with sad eyes clearly asking for more. this time I bend and dropped some right infornt of him. He greedily started eating-unable to walk, he was clearly starving. As I fed the dog I looked around to see if anyone was looking and to my surprise everyone was. I felt a bit embarrassed but I didn't left this time. I left only when I had finished feeding him all the biscuits. few days I kept feeding him gradually becoming less and less concerned about who is thinking what until one day a girl walked upto me. I stared her- she was smiling, she knelt down and gave the dog a bowl of soup which the dog drank happily wagging his tail.


One cannot just make others to do the right thing-to force them to show humanity but, when they will see you do the right thing, they will eventually join you. The torch of Humanity can't be invented, it can only be passed on from one to another....
