Look at the beautiful sky; listen to the musical flow of the ocean; experience the breath of fresh air; smell the fragrance of earth when it gets wet in rain!
Nature is all around us - the humans! All five elements of nature - sky, earth, water, fire and air - are there to please us, feed us, save us!
What do we do as humans? We ill treat them; misuse them; arrogantly waste them; look at them myopically! And we think that we are very smart and intelligent humans!
We cut trees to make way
for roads, buildings, houses...and we want to live 'happily'; we want to drive 'smoothly'; we want shade, but not ready to share a bit of land for trees. We want to make money out of every bit of the tree - when it is alive or when it is cut!
We use water as if there is abundant available! Those who have money think that they can buy water forever. Those who don't have money already know how valuable water is. They know the simple truth that they cannot 'create' water! it is nature's gift to humans.
If there is no end to this human arrogance, nature will write obituary to human life on this planet! It is just a matter of time...
Just like many people, I too have come across several people in various walks of my life. There were some who sought some assistance from me. In my own humble way, I did whatever I could in situations of dire need. There were occasions when I didn't even blink once before extending help. It could be lending money, guiding them in their studies, praying for their well being and being there for their psychological support....nothing extraordinary!
During those moments, I did not think as if I was doing any great thing. As an acquaintance, I thought it was my basic duty to be of some help to another human being. Every time I did some help to someone I derived great sense of inner joy.
But I am amazed to see how some of those people change colors as chameleons. Forget about gratitude for the help they received; they do not even consider it as any help at all. Instead they consider it as their right to get assistance. I treated them with kid gloves and they hit me in my chest....
They choose to move as far away from me as possible and avoid. They unfriended me on Facebook; they change their mobile numbers...they move on and I stay on!
I wonder why should they need to run away from me....is it because they consider me as a nuisance, or do they feel obligated towards me or do they suffer from guilt every time they come in contact with me?
Whatever might be the reason, they have lost the courage to look into my eyes and speak...for this life time! If they have killed their guilt means they killed their conscience...
What are you without your conscience?
