Whenever You Fall, Pick Up Something
Human beings, the only inhabitants of the world who tried to gasp the forces of nature, who tried to control these forces, who tried to produce similar artificial forces, once again proved to be a big zero. Nature along with fate- an unrevealed mystery for man- made man the loser. He lost his possessions including his beloved ones.
Man is always after luxury. His luxurious living constantly diverts his thoughts and makes him careless. Our ancestors granted us the knowledge that we can see bubbles along with tides before the giant killer- waves. This is a signal given by nature. But who bothers about these signals. If we are not able to analyze things in the right manner at the right time or if we are not able to foresee the possible disasters that could take millions of innocent lives, it is time to ask probing questions about the utility of scientific progress.
We know that Tsunami struck on 23rd August 1883 and 22nd May 1960. Then it is man’s carelessness which made him ignore the possibilities of another Tsunami, which could come anywhere at any time. All natural calamities remind us that we should always be aware of the natural disasters which are uncontrollable and which still remain a complete mystery to man.
If we ever tried to foresee disasters which could come to our brothers and sisters we would control the massacre by Tsunami to a great extent through safety awareness classes. But now in a world of competition, who thinks of others and their sufferings? All are in a mood to find out more pleasures and to be in a wonder land. But the mighty sword of nature reminds us year after year that we are nothing.
Presently, all humanity conveys their condolesens to the victims. It is our duty to wipe their tears and give them the inspiration to live. It’s we who should support them. Watch out! It may be our family and our relatives who may have to suffer next time. Let us give the afflicted the emotional support they need the only effective support which could bring them back to normal life. Let them be comforted by the hope that those who have lost their lives might be enjoying divine bliss in Heaven.
Practice in life these words ‘whenever you fall, pick up something’. Having seen all these calamities let’s pledge to work hard to keep the balance in nature, to protest against any activity in the name of development which would spoil our beautiful nature. This might help to reduce natural calamities which burst out when nature tries to rearrange itself to accommodate the changes made by man and by the passage of time. Let us bear in mind the wise saying “the virtue of adversity is fortitude” or “sweet are the uses of adversity” and do something constructive.
