Lion's Love

This notice I found about a year ago.
In Cali, Colombia, was found a lion abused and emaciated in a traveling circus.
Ana Julia Torres, 47, a teacher, works now rehabilitating animals and when this lion came in her shelter, she had to feed and nurse him to bring him back health.

Torres began to do this work, when she realized how many wild animals live in the houses of her puplis and are rejected after some time.

The lion loves the woman very much. Today I found the entire video about them. That is why I decided to post about them today.
Look at him when he kisses her and gives her these huges:



It's the greatest animal I know that shows his love to the person that saved him. I know the dogs remember it for all their life too.
Do you know a love-story like this?

Oh! Luidmila! If only a human being could be like the lion to another human being!

Maybe you think me too pessimistic, but I think human being canot have THESE feelings towards others.

I've seen them in some different animals, but never in humans. Human ha always egoistic background intentions

No, I don't think you are pessimistic. It's all up to a person. I believe though the love of the lion is pure, no ulterior motive at all, love unconditionally and with equanimity. No lust in that at all!

Yes, unconditioned Love is something too difficult for human being.

The Teaching speaks about the love of a mother for her child, but it's not true, because the mother wants always something from her child. And first of all Unconditional Love, because she thinks I'm his/her mother and he HAS TO LOVE ME.

In Italy there is a sort of epidemy of mothers that kill their children. About 5-7 years. Brutal murders. Maybe because Italy is soo little, they seem to be excessive cases.

Sometimes I think: there are many persons that speak their mothers don't love them, but they are fortunate to be alive, because many years ago the mothers didn't love them, but took care for them. Modern mothers kill.

Just my opinion, unconditional love is possible though difficult in human being relations. But as a mother I never feel that my child has to love me cuz I am his/her mother. I just love them too much no matter what happens.And I am one person if you ever save me in a difficult situation you can expect me to sort of worship and love you forever. So it depends on the individual, his or her capacity to love. Basically if one grow in a loving environment he is capable of loving more but in some cases the lack of love prompts a person to appreciate very much the other person who shower him with love and kindness.

ahhh, that is soo sweet

I think, you are right, Fatia, in great part the capacity of a person to give love dipends from the environment that had this person as a child.

The problem is, in this mad world there are not so many families where a child can learn to love.

Second part of this, I think, is the same person. Because we born with our special soul. I don't think it's possible to change radically this soul. (they say, all dipends from the family and environment only).

And so, all together, the human being seems to be in disperate condition... :)))

How sad that you believe a person cannot have un conditional love and that you think this animals natural instints are more that that !

If every Teaching the highest grade to reach for followers is Unconditional Love for our nearests. If all the Greatest Teachers of all religions do not believe humans have this attainment what do you want from me? Yes, I don't believe in it. Almost.
