Apollo Circus!

Went to watch the circus, i don't prefer to watch circus as I cannot enjoy animals performing... I cannot bear the discomfort in their eyes...Though I chose to watch circus, thinking I would get to see people from a different world, yes for me they are... Watching them I always wonder their motivation to perform... It was not a very mordernised or professional circus.. It was a circus group which didnt have good costumes to wear..
i understand that animal performance is one of their way to earn livlihood.. However, when i saw the elephant performing.. the only thing i could see was his eyes... Tears could not stop from my eyes... I found him helpless, in the middle of crowd, for my surprise people around were enjoying.. And I was the odd one to cry... Feel helpless, dont know if i could do something for them... I feel nature should not be disturb, its good to train animals, You might give them good food, care, but how about their own kingdom, their own home, their own environment... Can we give all this to them...d

Hey Sagittarian...
Something i wanted to share with you about sagi's. I got it from net.
Here we go- "Sagittarians are truth-seekers, and the best way for them to do this is to hit the road, talk to others and get some answers. Knowledge is key to these folks, since it fuels their broad-minded approach to life. The Sagittarian-born are keenly interested in philosophy and religion, and they find that these disciplines aid their internal quest. At the end of the day, what Sagittarians want most is to know the meaning of life, and if they accomplish this while feeling free and easy, all the better".........isn't it true ???

Now regarding the circus.
Being a son of a Veterinarian, since my childhood i got a chance to see lots n lots of animals and used to hate people torturing them. For me it's not the size of the animal that matters, it's there eyes...They speak a lot. Eye's are the sound of silence.

But sagi don't you agree that this whole world is in itself a circus and we are either the helpless animal or the performer fighting hard to earn livlihood.

Is our life anyway better than that elephant or the performer?

Do you know the reason why you cried when you saw elephant eye's?The pain that you saw in elephant eyes is actually yours(...or society's ) very own pain.
You want to see that one day whole world becomes happy and free of pain (same wat that elepnhant is thinking).

But it's not happening. The elephant (i.e. we are) is helpless,clueless, n tactless in the middle of circus (or this cruel world).
