This is sad..inspirational and still a sense of optimism. How can that be. How can a picture tell you or teach you so much. This picture is a test to know how human you are.. a personal test

for there is nothing heavier than compassion. Not even one's own pain weighs so heavy as the pain one feels with someone, for someone, a pain intensified by the imagination and prolonged by a hundred echoes.

Unbearable lightness of being ~
What a nice and humane feeling for a Dog to whom she could have left where she came from. Very very rare quality of a person and very glad and very proud that such persons are also there in our country who could lift 3/4 kg extra weight in such very difficult time.

Exactly my thoughts.On one hand one's disillusioned by people's bitterness, politician's manipulation and greed..

On the other hand one's heartbroken to see people go through so much loss, feel such grief & then there's also sights of kindness. The ones who have less share more
It's usually the ones with the heaviest load who carry it lightly
