I feed pigeons daily. I put out an adequate quantity of rice or other cereals for them outside my bedroom window.
The pigeons come daily at around 5.30 am. and enjoy their food. While they eat, they joyfully make amazing cooing sounds which give me immense pleasure.
One day, I forgot to put out their food. Unlike other days, I noticed that the sounds they were making and their body language were quite different. Realising that I had forgotten to feed them, I immediately went to the kitchen, brought their feed and kept it out for them. I noticed a tremendous shift in their body language as they enjoyed their food; it seemed that they were now dancing with joy.
This gave me so much joy which I can’t express in words.
Takeaway
The joy of making someone happy is amazing. It can be addictive.
