Rare Compassion for Mosquitoes
Sharing an experience that might sound very weird to many. At night, mosquitoes enter my room, and in the morning I see them struggling against the window net, trying desperately to escape.
Their tiny bodies keep searching for a way out. I watch their struggle, and in a moment of compassion, I lift the net and allow them to escape. :)
I even tell them, "Look, escape fast before my brother comes with his moquito racket to kill your'll."
Sometimes, I have to guide them with my hands to make them fly out, because they keep fluttering around the net without seeing the open path to freedom.
I know mosquitoes can harm and cause diseases, but sometimes, in that one moment, all I see is a tiny life form struggling to escape and live.
I don't know how to justify my act - whether its right or wrong, but in that moment it just feels the most natural thing to do!
If a human can bridge the gap of empathy with a creature that is biologically programmed to harm us, surely nations can rediscover compassion for each other.
Isaac the Syrian, a 7th-century Christian mystic taught that when the heart becomes truly compassionate, it cannot bear to see any creature suffer.
It is a heart burning with love for all creation — for humans, animals, birds, and even demons. Yes, you pray even for your enemies and those who do harm.
A Rabbanic Story On Compassion
There was once a calf being led to slaughter. It ran away and hid its head among the folds of Rabbi Yehudah HaNasi’s garment, and cried. The Rabbi told it: “Go! For this you were created.”
Noticing his lack of compassion, Heaven issued a decree: “Since he does not show pity upon this calf, let us bring suffering upon him.”
The Rabbi was afflicted with a kidney stone, and suffered immensely for thirteen long years.
One day, Rabbi’s maidservant was sweeping the house. Seeing a litter of weasels lying there, she was about to sweep them away.
Rabbi told her: “Leave them be; it is written, and God’s compassion is upon all his creations.”
The Heavens responded instantly to this shift in heart. They said: “Since he is now compassionate, let us show compassion to him.” His pain vanished, and his health was restored.
If lack of compassion toward one calf can bring such suffering to one person, imagine the suffering that follows when compassion is lost in wars that harm humans, animals, and the living Earth!
A Lesson From Pigeon Eggs
Recently, I went to my sister’s empty house where a maid comes once a week for cleaning. The gallery net had been torn for some time, and somehow we kept delaying repairing it.
Meanwhile, a pigeon built a nest there and laid two eggs. Just a week earlier, a pigeon had died in that same space covered with worms. The maid had a tough time cleaning the mess.
Seeing the eggs, the maid and I were in a moral dilemma about what to do. I asked my sister who asked us to remove the nest to avoid another risk.
We both felt miserable. I felt even more sad because I regularly feed pigeons on my bedroom parapet.
Since December 2025, one pigeon comes regularly to my window in the evening. It sits there all night, and flies away early morning.
But that evening, when I returned from my sister’s house, it saw me and flew away. I could sense that subtle rejection.
I love Ferrero Rocher Moments chocolate. When you remove the outer crust, the inner chocolate looks like a small egg.
That night, while eating one, the outer layer broke off and I suddenly saw that “egg-like” shape that reminded me of the pigeon eggs. I felt so aweful and filled with guilt.
The next day, I took my brother and finally repaired the torn net. I kept thinking that if we had fixed it earlier, perhaps the pigeons would never have made a nest there in the first place.
Not every moment gives us the chance to display compassion. Sometimes life forces us to make difficult decisions. But the universe has its own way of awakening our conscience.
I silently blessed those pigeon eggs and prayed that those little lives may return to the world again somewhere.
If I can feel so much guilt over two pigeon eggs, how do world leaders sleep at night after so many innocent human lives are lost?
PS: The Pigeon is back to sitting and sleeping on my window pane. 😊
Compassion can break the mechanics of Hell
Kuan Yin is the Bodhisattva of Compassion. One legend tells of her life that as Princess Miao Shan, when she refused to marry, her father, the King, ordered her execution.
When the executioner struck her with a sword, the blade shattered into a thousand pieces. When he tried to use a spear, it dissolved into dust.
Finally, realizing she was protected by a mystical force of non-violence, the King had her smothered.
However, her soul descended into the underworld. Upon seeing the suffering of the souls there, she was moved to such immense compassion that she began to pray.
Her presence turned the dark, fiery chambers of the underworld into a blooming garden of lotuses.
The King of the Underworld, realizing that her compassion was literally "breaking" the mechanics of hell, had no choice but to send her back to the world of the living so order could be restored.
When true compassion enters, even darkness loses its power!
