I had no inhibitions as I grew up. You have to be able to show compassion and all that. I can still clearly recall how my mother instilled the value of compassion in me during my childhood. We began providing shelter to stray animals, including cows, crows, sparrows, kittens and puppies. At my mother’s place, we currently have five fresh kittens that had been rescued. I was a pretty impetuous child, too! While we were rebellious as children, we never went too far or did anything to offend anyone. It’s true that my mother used to discipline me without hesitation.
