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......!!!!!
That is correct... A tiger and in fact any wild animal will leave the place once they are full...always in care of mother nature...but we humans, we feel that mother nature is just to serve us and we can exploit it anyways. But Nature heals herself if we give the time to heal... But we are too hungry and too insensitive... :(
ReplyDeletewell written. Nature is known very well to take its own due course, though in short span we might have celebrated our capture over nature but is it so? is it not the whole human population confined to closed spaces without usual activities of exploiting nature just because of a virus!? hope we start respecting nature and its power.
