The hearts that beat alike

Their skins differ as do their mother tongues But a knot of humanity binds their souls As these wordsmiths carve the dreams of humanity and reached to one another across space and time their hearts beat alike for peace that passes all understanding. If we look at the literary intellectuals and friendship between Lu Xun,George Bernard Shaw and. Rabindranath Tagore,it was their humane values and love of peace and the environment that bonds them.Lu Xun wrote essays in defence of George Bernard Shaw and Rabindranaths literary works were translated and well received by Chinese intellectuals especially his anti imperialism and sympathy for the suffering of the people under Japanese occupation as the indians experienced similar fate under colonialism.George Bernard Shaws strong love for animals made him a life long vegetarian and his poem on animal cruelty makes me cringe to eat meat as im a living graveyard for animals slaughtered to feed my appetite.
