HAVANA TIMES — I am grateful to life for giving me the opportunity to be reborn in the beauty of nature, humanity, plants and – most especially – animals.
Few of those who know me recall the keen interest in veterinary sciences I once had. As a child, I would dream of curing animals when they got sick. I was such a bad student that my grade average wasn’t enough to pursue this dream.
That setback, however, never distanced me from the creatures around me, particularly wild ones.
Today, I wonder what it was that always drove me to them. Perhaps it’s because I always regarded them as equals, or perhaps because I had already begun to suspect how important they would be for me forever.
A friend gave me a number of videos dealing with animals and the amazing things they do. It’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen in my life: beings that experience feelings and behave in much the same way we do.
In exchange for all things learned, humanity has belittled animals and, in most cases, deprived them of their rights as inhabitants of the planet.
In a world as messed up as ours, any kind of peaceful relationship with these lovely neighbors is like a breath of fresh air in the midst of the prevailing pollution, a place one can get away from hatred.
