Happy April Fools Day

"Once destroyed, nature's beauty cannot be repurchased at any price" 

                                                                                                     - Ansel Adams

Billion years ago, when the world was building up God gave mankind a unique gift. A boon to us and had asked to preserve it and nurture it from time to time. He had said that the way you show your respect to it accordingly it shall reciprocate to you. We know this unique gift as NATURE. In the beginning we started to enjoy its fruits, compliment it and then made an attempt to expand it. But as mankind grew its needs started to grow and it then started to slowly find ways to use Nature until it forgot its own duty and promise made towards its upliftment. Instead, it started to sacrifice Nature in order to fulfill its own needs.  



It marked an end of an era of Nature and began the era of construction in its various forms. Gradually, this reached a level where human beings noticed that there is a dearth of space to continue fulfilling is needs. So, we started to make space by cutting trees.

Mankind discovered that this was a new way of progressing its race even though it meant exploiting Nature and ‘fooling’ God by telling him that we are doing this for the betterment of Nature. Over the few decades we realized that we could not only use Nature for the progress of mankind but also use it to begin trade and business. 

Meanwhile, in order to keep God happy (for a while), we decided to make some parks and wildlife sanctuaries not for animals to live but for mankind to enjoy seeing these animals caged!

Over a time, empty spaces converted into construction site and some unknown areas converted into beaches. So, we now took the next step of making it dirty and in helping achieve this we created a deadly weapon - PLASTIC.

We took this invention further by using this extensively and then throwing it away either on the road or better in the sea. Till now while we had quite beautifully killed Nature’s guests on land, we decided it why should marine life also not get a taste of it too. This led to poaching and fishing and it made great money.

We set foot by starting to poach animals and sell them to other nations. Next, we would kill animals and make business through various means. On the flip side we decided that to take out an entire forest so that we could construct buildings for people to stay not thinking where Nature and its guest would stay. 

In the meanwhile, God had been observing all this and was extremely shocked and he questioned us why are we doing this. What happened to the promise of protecting Nature?

So, you were all fooling me all this while? And, to that we responded by a very wryly smile. “The problem was that we stopped checking for monsters under our bed when we realized that they were inside us”. (The Joker)

Today, as we are in a war, God has returned us the favor and taken what it had owned from the very beginning. But before it did return us the favor it introduced a little anarchy, upsetting the established order and made us experience how it feels when you play with Nature and its guest. The result is utter CHAOS! Well, yes, we had thought we had been fooling him all this while but God had its own agenda. 

It played its cards well and today we are bowing against its force but in silence. And, as he continues to open his wrath in this manner, he wishes us all ‘Happy April Fool’s Day’!
