Why are we so much in a hurry to conquer the world



Why are we so determined to conquer the world, control other creatures which include the trees, animals of land and sea.

As I stared from the window of my room today (good Friday 2020). I saw how beautifully the trees danced to the direction of the wind. I guessed they must have been quite happy that the wind came to them – maybe to stretch their muscles for exercise and create a pleasant and joyful moment. Other creatures like the birds must have also enjoyed the swing due to the wind.

All must have been quite interesting without too much smoke and the painful gases in the atmosphere. With the coming of the wind, the hairy peacock must have opened its feathers and walked majestically on the streets around the bush corners and maybe the ants must have formed a chain of themselves not to be carried away be the wind. An interesting moment close to their ant-holes, with the strongest dragging the chain into the ant-hole for safety.

In the case of the ants, the ant-hole might be a great luxury in this modern age. The trees that survived must have been the luckiest of them or extremely “useful” to the immediate man. Dancing is restricted to how the man wants it. Maybe branches cut off to dance only at the top and get beaten in excessive weather conditions – or too short to dance. The bird needs to travel more to get good air for dancing and swinging. How sad it is for the weak ones. The peacock imprisoned and taught to live indoors, lonely, no sight seeing and no flaunting of wings in the streets. These are only a few cases and am sure you can add a thousand more.

The aim is to bring our consciousness to life. We want to live happily; we must make others live happily. We must not be happy at the expense of others happiness. Else, we all fail. We must treat nature sustainably and never allow anything to lose its value or become extinct. I assume that everything created has a purpose or contribution to human life, so if we consume without conserving, we condemn ourselves in the future.

  1. Nice one great mind. I still feel that unless the third world countries are determined to conserve, the destruction will continue because of evil leadership, Poverty, Ignorance and so on.
    Thanks for lighting up our awareness once more.
