All creatures were created with a view to adorn the only planet in the Universe which could sustain life. We all had our share of the land, air and water; everything was arranged for peaceful co-existence. Why then have we reached an age where Man harbours only and only intolerance towards all other species?
Man was bestowed with superior capabilities by the Creator to uphold and ensure the well-being of all creatures - big or small. But what did Man do? He defied each and every aspect of that well crafted, ideal plan of sustenance. He pillaged the natural resources beyond limits, ravaged the flora and fauna, divided land, water and air, and eventually ended up evolving from an ape into a detestable greedy and selfish creature, not worthy of being called human.
Man only thought of his pleasures, his entertainment and his convenience. Thus he resorted to needless hunting of animals and felling of trees. There are numerous episodes which penetrate my heart like a sword. Episodes of cruelty to animals, fellow humans and indiscriminate wastage of life and resources. Just see where we have reached today. We are at a stage of deterioration and soon this blessed planet (which it was) will succumb to our deeds. We have taken mother nature for granted, polluted the environment and succeeded in depleting the ozone layer. At this point in time, there is only a feeling of despair in my mind; and I desperately wish that we had not become what we have become, and the world would have remained that ideal world in which Adam and Eve had lived. But what stays with me is my small ray of hope, as our continuous degeneration blurs my horizon.
