old friends

look at the photo of baby lion first and then watch the video





These two guys reared this lion from a baby in England but the authorities would not allow them to keep it once it reached maturity so they were forced to give it up, they took it back to Africa and placed it in a wildlife sanctuary, a year later they went to see it and were told it would not remember them...

When the lion shall lie down with the lamb


the need to play

A non-threatened and non-threatening playful puppy induces the same response from a big growlly teddy bear:




The photographer (Norbert Rosing)was sure that he was going to see the end of his huskies when the polar bear materialized out of the blue, as it were:





Obviously it was a well-fed Bear...







The Polar Bear returned every night that week to play with the dogs..

    1. Perhaps this is a sufficient explanation of why
      married people and people who have pets
      live longer!

  6. 'We are driven by self-interest, it’s necessary to survive. But we need wise self-interest that is generous and co-operative, taking others’ interests into account. Co-operation comes from friendship, friendship comes from trust, and trust comes from kind-heartedness. Once you have a genuine sense of concern for others, there’s no room for cheating, bullying or exploitation."

    "Honest concern for others is the key factor in improving our day to day lives. When you are warm-hearted, there is no room for anger, jealousy or insecurity. A calm mind and self-confidence are the basis for happy and peaceful relations with each other. Healthy, happy families and a healthy peaceful
    nation are dependent on warm-heartedness."

    --Dalai Lama
