Just a glimpse of sadness

When I came in this world, I was received with love. I grew up, continuously showered with love, care and companionship. Being thankful, grateful and conscientious towards what I have received has been important, if not critical, for me. Giving and receiving is part of our life. The obligation towards fellow beings is a natural phenomenon and marks the basis of the relationships we live with.

We probably have been extremely responsible people in our lives – towards our parents, our siblings, our relatives, our acquaintances, our friends and probably, even strangers. We are probably the moral guardians of all the good human values – being courteous, being helpful, being kind, being patriotic, being intelligent and so on, so forth.

We are educated, we have been taught to be mindful and we have been trained to take care of things very well. As daily activities, we get up in the morning, we probably do some exercises, we have food, we travel to our workplaces, regularly fill up our body with water, spend time with family and friends and so on, so forth.

After living our lives for considerable duration, after enjoying all the lovely moments, after always being gifted with so many beauty, have we spent even 1 % of time in our life towards what should have been the most treasured, the most cherished part of our lives – our planet, The Earth.

We have never been taught, we have never been educated and we have never ever been trained to worry or take care of our ‘neglected’ home. The biggest problem of ours is the lack of awareness about the harm we are causing to our dear planet. The saddest part of the situation is that we are not even sad about what is happening to the very source of our life.
