And so a cat crept through the bushes towards the sea.
He sniffed around and picked up its ears to make sure no one was around. Eyes don't work much under poor moonlight.
He tested the grounds-
not too hard, not too soft.
He sat dow and gently wrapped his tail around his body.
"Chilly tonight, isn't it?" asks the owl that floated down next to him.
"I can't imagine how you could do it, owl".
The owl just gave a knowing look, she had no choice, she's used to flying in the cold. Cozy is hardly a part of her dictionary.
"The dirty air doesn't make it any better" said she.
"I feel for all the fishes that lives in that sea." said the cat.
"Sympathy for another? we have quite abit in common" replied owl.
"The water, it is so dark, even during the day..."
"Human buildings spew it out every day"
"It is disgusting..."
"It is somewhat comforting, to know that there are creatures inferior to us". The owl perk up and looked beyond the horizon, "this sea is proof that they do not deserve any land to set foot on. This sea is our symbol of superior wisdom and of the downfall of man"
The cat gently leaned forward, and rested on his front paws.
"I see it differently though, in my heart i wish to save thos fishes, clean the sea, but i am just a cat."
"Why do you bother, cat? You've tried your best yet death and destruction still roam here"
"Why, wise owl, we sit here every night and each night you have much to say about this sea, yet you have never tried to do anything"
"I enjoy our conversation, but you must see that we should waste no more time trying to make the others understand."
"Why they associated you with wisdom, i may never understand, owl."
"knowledge, my dear cat. To be honest with you, i haven't a clue what wisdom is truly all about."
"And that, i know. Which is why our opinions may never come eye to eye. I speak in the hope of pointing out the failure of others so they could better themselves, but you speak only of the failure of others to feel better yourself"
"Where did you hear that from?"
"My mind, dear owl. I do not speak from the mind of others, i do not berate others to feel better, and that is what seperates us. You and I, and the sea of human failure."

Sometimes it's best to not question the end in order to enjoy the mean.
Though it's based on the end that one shapes the mean.

Shit. I don't recognise you when you're happy.
Reflective of people sometimes. Some people speak in hopes to better others and some speak to feel better themselves. Very reflective.
That was beautiful literature
