Well the other day I stayed up the whole night. And at 5 am, it was light and pretty warm already, I decided I felt like going for a walk.
And I was just pondering about filosophical questions, more specific about morals. And that moment ( I was walking in front of the church at that time ), I saw a moth being chased by a bird. The bird hit the moth, forcing it to fall on the ground, but my presence then scared away the bird.
I wondered, what shall I do with this moth, do I leave him, injured ( he didn't look like he could fly ), and let him be eaten by this bird? Or maybe the moth is in better condition then I think, and I should chase the bird away, thus saving the moth, but condemning another animal to be eaten by the hungry bird ? Now the fact that it was so early, no one was around in the town, and the fact that it happened RIGHT in front of the churc gave the whole thing a mysterious aura...
What do you guys think about it ? I was very confused about what I should do, and just because it was an insect doesn't give it less right to live then yourself, quite frankly... What do you think this was?
Coincedence... or more ?
