Doomsday: Are you prepared?

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!
