Man and Nature
We live
with the flow of nature; from being evolved into a modern human with other
species. From the ice age up until this year’s climate. From the basic life to
the modern-technology life. Many things are changing every year; for example,
from being involved into a single food web to a complex one.
But as we go on, revolving with the
evolution, there are things we forget; taking good care of our planet, Earth.
Imagine you are living in a planet with big animals flying back and forth, fire
standing closer reaching over you, waves of water rushing on your left side,
earthquake and tsunamis, volcanoes were born, hunger, the extinction. An
example of apocalypse.
What can we do for our planet? God
gave us mind and body not to destroy our home, but to take care for the sake of
every species at present and for the future generations.
Looking
forward on today’s catastrophes, they became more devastating. For our country,
Philippines in this year, suffered from earthquake in Bohol and super typhoon
in Tacloban. Countless floods and typhoons were also felt on many areas.
Climate change is felt in every
country. This also points that, when nature returns all of our cruel
activities: cutting of trees, digging for gold, wasting of food, water and
electricity, too much factories and
smokes, illegal fishing, WE CAN’T STOP THESE. That’s a law of nature that we’ve
disobeyed. We don’t and will not have weapons to fight with nature. We will
just go with it, end up crying, mourning, scared, unconscious. We can not blame
nature for doing this climatic zone to us; we must blame ourselves!
Today,
I dream of being wanted to see Earth back the way it used to be; healthy,
simple, smoke free, many birds flying in the beautiful sky, fresh water flowing
in the rivers, lakes, oceans and seas, fresh and cold wind blowing my hair, birds
singing freely, no more mad and cruel people, more aware and responsible humans.
A green nature. Greener Earth. Greener home. For everyone, for today and for
the next generations.
