The earth has been there almost always, supporting life, sustaining itself and helping life multiply, flourish. It was not like this before, as it is today. In the name of development, we seem to have made some uninformed (and now, mostly informed) choices that have lead the life to where it is today. Pollution (of all kind we know today), wars, division, chronic diseases (talk about Covid!).
Think, are you going leave the earth just like that, consuming it's resources and not contributing to sustain it for the future generations to come? We have so engrossed in a "production mentality" that we have reproduced like mindless creatures and as a result we're too many people in this world and resources are very oddly divided among ourselves. Have you been in a traffic jam? what are your thoughts at that time? Do you see the concrete jungle instead o the trees in your city?
Delhi is already the most polluted city in the world.
Think!
I guess, corona epidemic is a nudge, to think in that direction... Great piece.
ReplyDeleteYes...thank you for saying that...it speaks volumes of where are we headed as human race.. towards destruction
ReplyDeleteAmazing.. i believe that we all have a contribution to make to leave this world in a better state for our coming generations. Talk about pollution that is silently killing people without them even knowing.
