I just watched a video of a crow prodding a hedgehog to finish crossing the street so he doesn't die. The hedgehog only moved reluctantly when prodded and had to be reminded several times before he got to the curb on the other side. The video ends after the crow tried to get him to climb up over the curb to safety, but it wasn't looking promising.
How many people do I know who live this same way?
They go through life depending on other people to guide them without a thought about anything except what they want in that given moment.
The hedgehog looked like he was enjoying something in the middle of the road.
Things like cars, trucks, Covid-19, people who hate little spiky animals and just mean, cruel jerks in the world were not as important to it as that bug in that moment.
If it weren't for someone brighter and more alert, who cared enough to take the right action, the hedgehog might have died in a most unpleasant way.
It isn't easy to care for other people sometimes.
As someone pointed out: ignorance is curable, stupidity is forever.
