There was a news item that a baby humpback whale was dying on the shores of Long Island. It seems that the whale separated from its mother and beached itself three days ago. According to the experts baby whales can not survive without their mothers' milk.
Finally to put it out of its misery it was euthanized early this morning.
It is very sad. I love all animals and I feel sorry for any animal that gets killed regardless for what reason.
But what I find interesting sanctimonious way people behave in times like these.
People went out to the beach and prayed, some of them kneeled in the sand. Suddenly this baby whale became the center of their attention.
These are the same people who wouldn't give a nickel to a homeless person or help an elderly person across the street. But yes, pray for a whale.
Sometime people can be so two faced it turns my stomach. Their forced sanctimoniousness, their forced better than thou attitudes are nothing but phony exhibitionism.
I had a colleague who was an engineer.He was semi intelligent but he was still an engineer. This person was extremely religious with his own beliefs in some Indian sect. He would not eat meat or even eggs because that would mean killing an animal.
But in conversations he never batted an eye convicting large groups of people he didn't believe in.
He dead seriously said that those people should be killed because that would solve a lot of problems.
How can a religious person make such a statement? Killing an animal is forbidden but killing humans is OK?
Now, these are the same kind of people who would go to the beach and pray over a dying whale.
I have no use for such individuals. They are totally useless as far as I am concerned. They are useless because they are not honest. They are not honest themselves and are not honest to others.
That's the society we live in today!
I'm gonna cut this writing short because I have to run and see on the news how my hero is doing in the Masters. Now there is an honest person!?
