Coexistence

'The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.' -Mahatma Gandhi

Since the beginning of civilization, animals have been an integral part of human lives. In the modern mechanized cities, people may not depend on animals for livelihood or security as much, but, in every new or old society, people had to coexist with animals. Interaction with animals takes various forms, such as medical necessity to emotional support. These relations were always friendship. Living in close surrounding of animals teaches us humbleness, honesty and sensitivity. I can feel that I have become more compassionate person by getting close to the strays in the city.
