Lesson for humankind



Times have changed. And, this change can be felt by every single person living on this planet. Never had it imagined the proportion of changes to take place at such a fast pace. What was present has really become or intends to become a past soon. How a bacterium, possibly a minuscule thing totally invisible to the world could bring drastic change to the very existence of humankind. Something that happened, happens or likely to happen is either destiny or in every way assumed to be Act of God. Something happening in this world at this moment is not we presume as an Act of God. It is the end-result of what is an Act of Humankind. A lot of things it destroyed is very much payback from humankind itself in the form of ailment and possibly death. What humankind gave to the world to exist and let everyone know of its existence is being reciprocated in the destruction of its very existence slowly and steadily by that minuscule, invisible form of life by taking away life with the slightest touch.

Nature has always been the best and most beautiful creation of God, bestowed with giving the best to humankind to live and enjoy its content to the fullest. However, enjoying the content never meant destruction. It never meant that humans need to kill any other living being for its survival. It never meant to root out innumerable trees to live. It also never meant to venture into a space that was and should always remain private to the very Nature.

How can you imagine the survival of humankind when the course of the river is changed to create enough space for that piece of land which can facilitate flying planes? How can you imagine life to survive when you venture into the area that is private to sea animals and birds by reclaiming and extending the land? How can you imagine the survival of humankind when you venture into the large land pieces of wild animals and birds by destroying forests? All these spaces don’t belong to humankind. It belongs to the river which is flowing to feed humankind since eons without uttering a word. It belongs to the precious sea creatures whose source of survival is being snatched away to create luxuries of humankind. Similarly, it belongs to those mute creatures who were created by Act of God to survive alongside the most blessed creatures on earth – human beings.

Nobody knows how the bacteria came into existence? Was that an Act of humankind or born just like human beings? The fact remains; it has made the world- human beings realize that the planet doesn’t only belong to them. Earth also belongs to many such species that were created along with them. It belongs to every single species that was born during the last several centuries and who has full right to survive in this world just like the humankind. They cannot be ignored, killed, or destroyed only because humans have considered themselves superior to anything and everything. This minuscule, invisible creature has made this materialist world realize that even they can survive without even making the human beings realize how and in what way. And, their survival exists by trying to smash that important organ of the human body – lungs.

Can you really imagine how the bacteria is choosing the human body it needs to destroy? A human body that is not defective externally but internally; a body that is suffering due to some ailment; a body that has very fewer years to survive; a body that is fragile and weak… these are possibly just a few instances. These instances are a lesson to humankind. Still, there is time to get the act together. Time is there to survive if they really wish to survive.

  • Don’t beautify your own body by destroying other creatures for survival.
  • Don’t act beyond limits even when you have plenty of money to do anything and everything.
  • Don’t think you are God and can change the survival of living beings.
  • Don’t act as if you have supernatural powers to extend the survival of human beings.

Live and let live. The world is very beautiful, created by the most beautiful Act of God. Let's start preserving the resources, make life simple and easy. Give back to the Nature whatever possible for the generations to remember.

Thank you.
