"I have to live for others and not for myself: that's middle-class morality."
George Bernard Shaw

“When a little lion cub was stranded on
the side of a cliff, all hope seemed lost to the photographers witnessing it.
The cub was crying out, panicked, on the side of the hill... just waiting for
his mother or another lion to rescue him. The drop-off was steep and the lions
nearby didn't seem like they would be able to make it down to him, even though
they were all visibly worried about the little cub.
The cub's mother, three other lionesses and a male lion all
tried to get down to the cub in vain. The hill was much too steep and it was
hard for the lions to keep their footing. These lions were unrelated to this
cub, but since they were in the same pride they were anxious to help him out.
It was absolutely heartbreaking to see how desperately they wanted to save him
- and how desperately he needed saved.
After trying over and over to get to the cub safely, the mother
lion showed true bravery and leapt down to her cub, sliding as she went. There
was nothing that was going to stop mom from getting to her cub!
Although the little cub was obviously very frightened, he didn't
move from the spot he was in, letting his mother quickly grab him. It's amazing
that this mom was able to safely climb down without dislodging the crying cub's
very unstable foothold as she went.
Although the climb was difficult with her cub in her mouth, the
momma lion was able to make it back up the hill safely
Once both were back on solid ground safely, the cub was given a
nice bath... and probably told that if he wandered off again, he was grounded.
Now this is a real example of how a mother's love can overcome
almost anything!”
A righteous man regards the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
Proverbs12:10
