I just killed a cockroach in
my bathroom…Why did I do that?? Was it going to harm me, I don't think so...
why did I kill it? May be because it was weaker than me and I could kill it. It
has been a convention that mighty crushes weaker beings, rich suck the life out
the poor and those ones without voice.
Once
in a jungle safari, we encountered tiger chasing deer. The tiger was successful
to pounce on his appetite. But we couldn't bear the painful groaning of the
deer struggling between life and death. When it moaned its last sigh, my friend
exclaimed," it is so unjust. Why does the deer have to die to satiate the
hunger of someone?" The first thing that came in my mind was, "That
is the rule of nature!" But before I could utter it out, I went into retrospection.
There are numerous instances when we are donning the mask of the 'tiger'
pouncing on preys...
If it's just on the part of tiger,
is it on ours??
Is it just to pluck leaves
just to kill time?
Is it right to exploit
nature, to waste gallons of water while thousands die of thirst?
Is it just to waste or rather
over exploit resources just because we can...
Getting back to my senses, I replied, "Tiger
stops hunting when his stomach is full." ...Over-eating is manmade not
natural......!!!!!
