Man’s Search for Meaning -11

Very recently at Palakkad, Kerala State a herd of wild elephants wandered into an area where a new IIT is being set up… Poor elephants.. their habitat is  being taken over by future engineers… in order to make their future bright the present of the animal giants and others are sacrificed…

• This is not the story of Kerala alone… in various parts of India and elsewhere resorts are constructed either  inside wild sanctuaries or around /near to them so the bored city bred people can take a vacation during weekends to see the animals, as in circus….when they come to drink water, mate or even deliver their kids.. all great entertainments and past time to a generation , who has lost all sense of direction and proportions..

Human being should consider how they will feel if their daily chores are being video graphed or people are allowed to watch live their daily chores at home… yes there are videos on the net of extreme scenes even today.. then they are paid actors … in which the actors are putting up a show…

·       We are referring to live watching ….let us say the animals are having the scope to watch.. us the humans.. at a later date… as in circus… we become the players and animals the spectators.. how much we will be amused…

Even in real life,, if a photo is taken of a celebrity/VIP, he/she shows the  real colour…

• Incidentally  I saw a video on Cristiano Ronaldo, who went for a coffee to a shop and then.. the public came to him and requested for a selfie.. he obliged a couple of them… then one after another  rushed to him.. and in the video he obliged a large number of patrons in  the coffee shop including the employees...  very graciously….

That is a willing action… we are now referring to intrusion.. if celebrities are pissed of when their privacy is intruded into, what  right we --- the thinking homo sapiens – have to intrude into the habitat of other animals..

·      If we do not respect the nature and its laws and act as if we are the Creator, then the Real Creator will teach us lessons through…. Pandemics, earth quakes, Tsunamis, wars, terrorism….all ways to destroy, destruct and bring pain to the living and suffering to the living….

Animals have no lawyers to present their case… Live and let live should be the order.. or  tit for tat seems to work like Swiss clock  precision in nature… if only one wakes up to that reality  … sooner than later…. One can at least hope for sense to prevail… hopefully...

Be happy. Be safe.
