"God, Grant Me The Serenity
To Accept The Things I Cannot Change;
The Courage To Change The Things I Can.
And The Wisdom To Know The Difference."
I was with my Friends, when we read these verses on a Hang-out. Each one read it except me.... I mean, I did not just read it. In fact, I was lost... Trying to analyse what they actually meant.
It seemed very simple at first... But I realised the real meaning only a week later,when I saw a Cat pounce on an innocent Pigeon. And without a thought, I rushed & somehow managed to free the poor creature.The Cat was stunned and just kept staring at me as if I was a sinner. And I thought that I was a "Hero".
But not until I saw the bird,flapping its wings, tossing and turning with the intense pain of the deep wound on its neck...... Blood oozing continously.
I sensed that it was breathing his last. It was indeed a painful sight.
And suddenly I remembered the above Verses.. And I Smiled.. I knew my Quest had ended.
Immediately, I picked the bird and twisted its neck, freeing it instantly...From the intense pain. Then I offered it to the Cat who was waiting for this.
It was a Transformation... Of Thoughts.
Indeed,I was blessed with the Serenity to accept that I can't change the Cats basic instincts. But I definitely had the Courage to end the suffering of the poor bird. And Now I knew the Difference.
"Life changed" for me.... Hmmm... No,I changed the way of "Looking At Life".
