      This will always be relevant. That's the 1 of the beauties in life. To me. Seeing how such a big animal can have those feelings. Elephants are the greatest smartest animals on the planet. And that intelligence enables them to do amazing things. That story makes me cry every time I watch. But that's the most beautiful thing there is. Unconditional love

    Remember anyone whose ever bullied anyone, or harmed anyone, does not really know what empathy means.
