A TRIBUTE TO MOTHER EARTH (On Mother’s Day) Mother Nature is a true living entity. Its existence is self-supporting. It has all the provisions for self protection and self healing for all its ailments. We, humans are only accidental occupants. We are a mere result of the continuous changes occurring on the surface of the earth millions of years ago. We differ from other creatures in the sense that we evolved to be rational, but rational as we are supposed to be, we are also doing the most irrational and most obnoxious behavior to our environment. As a sad result, our Mother Nature is getting somehow sick. In its inherent and natural process of healing itself, we, the rational creatures are the ones greatly affected in the form of varied calamities visiting our planet. Now we are in a hurry to save Nature but it is beyond our limited capabilities. Nature has its effective way of healing itself and it is now our misfortune to be adversely affected by the sophisticated natural healing process. It is too late. There is nothing that we can do. We have inured to hurt nature. Have to suffer the consequences such as Earthquakes, Floods, Tsunamis, Erupting Volcanoes, Landslides and many other forms of calamities left and right which are all results of Mother Natures protective measures, repugnant as they are to man. Mother Earth has a definite life span and it is not for itself to adjust to us, its temporary obstreperous occupants but for us to cooperate interminably with natural processes in the continuous existence of our environment. It is only when we humans realize this truth that we can truly live in harmony with our Mother Earth. This is only our hope to be saved. It is not too late. Let us stop our derogatory actions. Let us all open our minds and be cooperative to our government. Let us not be intransigent. Let us all focus on the importance of the harmonious existence with Mother Nature. Our Mother Earth is always ready to nourish us but let us be resolute… let us not vomit out the nutrients being fed to us. Let us rectify and let us not destroy the natural way of keeping us alive. It is our duty to be Altruistic to our Great Mother Nature on Mother’s Day.
