[Essay which I wrote for my english exam in school]
“We can hardly
even recognize the devils of our own creation”
Today sitting right in this room, of course this is
examination hall with two serious looking huge teachers around, looking not
just at me but towards the entire row they can see. Well, at this very moment I
just wonder upon the endless possibilites there are in the long days ahead. How
would have our ancestor even thought, weren’t they witty? Weren’t they amazing?
A lot of questions flow like fountain water. May be I am just thinking too
much. But there shouldn’t have been any mistakes or leaks in their thoughts. No
way, until they were a fool puppets. Well, may be we cannot just predict how
days were during all those gone hours.
Yeah, Now I remember my girlfriend, I mean my ex-girlfriend
who used to be pretty clever, always
used to say, “man is the greatest enemy of his own thoughts and deeds”
and now I am learning what she actually
meant. We are greedy, aren’t we? I know we are. Human beings have a
cruel saying “dream on and on, we can do anything” Thanks for saying that, we
can feel our race and kind becoming more powerful every day and that isn’t
something for us to be proud of now. Humans never tend to accept the fact that
they are the only danger to mankind and to all the helpless creatures who have
lost their power of expressing their thoughts and fears. We cannot be that
blind and deaf, no wonder why the one who is residing in heaven would get
furious.
Remember the cause of the tower of babel, when all the
humans became wise? They all wanted to reach heaven without the help of god,
humans wanted to be powerful. They wanted to build a legendary tower which
would reach to the heaven and they wouldn’t have to sufer any more. As they
were fully determined to build one, god became furious and he created a wall
between every human, he changed everybody’s language. Soon after they couldn’t
understand their languages and then they all went to different directions and
they couldn’t continue with their dream and now humans are fully responsible for
creating a wall between them selves. Other wise we would have been living in
harmony with each other.
Let’s leave aside those tragic histories, looking at today’s
rapid world. Humans are proud of their magnificant little creations, on the
other hand if we go the way of Japan, a fully furnished country, what do you
think the causes for the natural calamities are? Why are they being tortured? Why
are they being distrubed? If we happen to ask this to any magnificiant little humans
there will be any endless explanation for this, each one with their own
insightful words. The answer my friend is blowing in the wind, the answer is
around us. The answer is us, the answer is we.
The nature gets tired, It cannot hold onto everything, so it starts to
puke slowly but surely. And we all never tend to feel the breeze of it.
Lets not just look at Japan. There are endless things
happening around us and happening around for us to understand and pause, for us
to slow down. We can go down to the Bramaputra river and see the endless
creatures dying. We can go way up to China and see dry lands starving for
water. We can go down to the industries of India and see nearby people getting
affected by cancer’s. We can go across the sahara desert check the wells dryed
up.
In all this miseries, humans, us, we are the sead cause. Lets
wake up now and lets volunteer to be responsible, to be that one man who would
pause, stop,think and act.
To humans there are endless possibilites to prove blameless.
"We can never know how strong we are, until being strong is the only way to
stand out"
