THE MILK OF HUMAN KINDNESS:
In the immediate aftermath of the Tsunami, people from all walks of life rushed to the assistance of Tsunami victims. The public response to the tragedy was spontaneous, generous and truly magnificent – on a scale never before seen in our country. A priest from down south narrated the touching story of a young mother at a relief center – a woman who had lost her own infant in the Tsunami – she was seen breast feeding another infant who had lost both its parents. She cared not whether this baby was Sinhala, Tamil or Muslim. As far as this woman was concerned, this was a baby in need, and she did what she had to do – hold the infant to her breast and ensure that at least this baby would live. If that isn’t the “milk of human kindness” what is?
