No way, hypocrisy
No way, hypocrisy

The puny characters that we are ought to get into our heads. However, we seem to think bigger than we can manage to hold on to. That might have been the reason for our forefathers to have attributed every natural phenomenon to one or a collection of deities. It gave the humans the recourse to other activities rather than contemplating the whys and hows of one thing or the other. Maybe that might be the reason for their amassing great spiritual advancement, despite the fact remaining that the modern us tend to think of them as nuts when it came to the temporal existence bit. What we think nowadays is that science is there to clear our path like a rake does with the fallen withered leaves during the autumn season. But, the failings of science are evident. From the failure to get a cure for AIDS, to what has been dubbed as one of the greatest challenges that mankind has faced namely the climate change. The global warming part moving on to climate change has the majority around the world fuming in disgust for the helplessness that they identify, revolving around whether you believe in that phenomenon or not. Still, ingenuity has its own charred out path. If nothing else, the talks must go on at least. Nature is too infinite for we humans to fathom. It’s just the bits and pieces that we handle to come up with a hypocritical statement regarding the whole. Yeah, we got the gift of the gab. The greater the skill the more you can get the rest of the flock looking up at you in awe. The sadist that resides in you also derives the pleasure of the others living in fear of the pronouncement that you make, when you also live at zero ground. Coming to be more nearer home, that is, in a Third World country, one knows the strong bonds with nature. Nature-friendly practices are love to a large extent, not the west-induced accelerated plans and programmes. And, to be accused of speeding up the climate change clock is a far-fetched cry. And the real perpetrators come up to us to do the needful in averting the climatic catastrophe that awaits us. But, we know that besides lending a strong hand in deforestation and over-exploitation of the natural resources, we are not providing the extra CO2 to the environment in such large amounts as the west seems bent on doing even as we approach the closure of the first decade of the 21st century.
