We strive, and nature provides.
In a short span of 40 or 50 years, we observe amazing changes in all walks of life. Various things are made available to us faster than we grow. Just see communication, transportation, connectivity, discoveries, farming, safety measures, speed of work, and search of any information, and we can say it is a revolution. Are we grateful to nature? May be or may not be. We use the new arrivals without bothering to know how all these resources are expanding and coming to our doorsteps.
Before going into details, let us know about something closely related to us and the pattern of growth in less than 15,000 years.
The internet was made available to this world 30 years ago, and we started using Facebook 15 years ago.
The personal computer came into being 60 years ago, and television 90 years ago.
The light bulb, telephone, and plastic came to our knowledge roughly 150 years ago.
People came to know about electricity a little more than 200 years ago and the steam engine around 250 years ago.
The printing press was invented around 600 years ago, though people started manufacturing paper around 2000 years ago.
Human civilization itself started taking shape a little more than 6000 years ago, and the cultivation of crops started 12000 years ago, as did the use of metals around that time.
Every year, every decade, there are numerous interventions and discoveries, and we have reached robots and artificial intelligence by now.
All these developments are the outcomes of human efforts and the peeling off of the layers covering the variety of gifts of nature.
Human lives and all natural phenomena are deeply integrated. We have a chair. It is made of wood, metal, or plastic, and thus all are ultimately based on natural resources.
We are responsible for the well-being of the human race and all other creatures. We are more intelligent and therefore have maximum responsibility for keeping the equilibrium between men, materials, methods, mysteries, and meaningfulness.
Humans are born to explore. We are indebted to past generations and responsible for generations to come. We are responsible for giving better conditions to all living bodies that come after us. Have we thought about it? Are we not responsible for pollution and cutting down the basic structures of nature? Are we not responsible for the diminishing population of birds and animals that are essential for maintaining natural equilibrium? Are we not throwing garbage at clean places? We all have to be involved in keeping things in order and supporting nature to maintain balance.
If we are consumers of thousands of items per day or per week, we must see where our contribution is and in which segment. We must see what we are doing apart from eating, sleeping, walking, and purchasing. All are capable of doing more than what they are doing today.
Nature is ready with many things to provide, but someone must ask for them, not orally but practically.
We have the power of imagination. We also predict many things based on trends and patterns. We are supreme because of these traits. Let us use our interventions to make things better than they are.
"If you can dream it, you can do it". says Walt Disney.
Let us move beyond boundaries. Miracles happen only if we insist on them.
