Since time eternity we have been living in this world. No
one has ever found out where we started or where we are going to finish. We
have harnessed resources that our planet has given us. We feast upon the other
creatures that dwell out there. But in our immense pleasure of our victory over
the realm around us we have developed a sense of security. We have made
ourselves believe that no matter how worse we do, we are going to be just fine!
Because we have intellect! We know how to correct things that we ourselves have
set wrong.
For example this picture which I happen to take at a historical
heritage in Delhi. I was happy to visit the place at my first glance. There was
this film shooting going on with lots of people around. The place was still
very much managed with security personals taking care of the place. The people
taking care of this monument were only concerned about their job though which
was to take care of the monument. This monument which was named as “Qutub Minar”,
is actually hundreds of years old. I was happy to see all this that we are
concerned about what we have created. And I felt that if we can keep alive a
monument which is hundreds of years old, we will definitely be successful in nurturing
and growing our own race which does not even degrade like this monument. We
replenish our race with each reproduction cycle and we are evolving into more sophisticated
brains.
Then suddenly I came across this tree which had fallen due
to, of course, some unavoidable reasons. But the point is not how the tree was
sucked out of life rather the point is that universal truth which still exists-“Everything
that is created is destroyed”. And if this tree was to be destroyed by any
means, be that the film shooting or nature’s stroke, or any other reason for
that matter, then nothing in this world can stop it from getting destroyed.
Now, I am writing all this because people are all getting
fussy about this doomsday in December this year. I would like to say only this
much: It doesn’t matter when we perish; the only thing that matters is how we
have lived our lives when we had chance to. As far as this tree is concerned it
was still green, when I saw it dead!
