we stand in the cross roads with two different ways
to approach the future co-existence or exploitation. While
the former secures our future the latter secures only the
present.

The way humans manage water :
Now since we are all part of the system and because we are stuck inthe day to day chores of life , we hardly get any time to notice thistransition. This is the reality now where we are forced to turn to thesea for our water. So at the end of all this , we have achieved two
things water scarcity and conversion of water to a commodity andnothing more.
We multiply in numbers and industrialize everything and create morewater demand. We then drain all rivers , lakes, wells etc for this extra
demand. When the water becomes scarce, we start put tingmonetary value to water and start collecting money for usage. Onceequated to money , water is no longer a right for allpeople rather , now people who have more money have more rightsto use or in other terms buy it. This means people who have moneycan use it, without thinking about scarcity. Finally we reach astage where everyone demands for water with money andthen we decide that the rivers and lakes are inadequate or in otherterms nature has not given enough for us. We decide it is up
to us to come up with solutions and we invent desalination ofsea water. With industrial production we make water even morecostly and we now create pollution, just for producing water itself.

There will
always be exceptions when somebody from a basic
background breaks through this structure but find for yourself ,
how many people are there who actually succeed from
the ground level?
Face the basic fact : In the current system, if everybody is rich
then who will clean the garbage ? The system is designed in such
a mnanner that the social staus quo is always maintained and as a
common person we simply cannot break this !

The entire insect community is vital to ensure reproduction of plants and trees . Since trees are the ones giving us oxygen , insectsthus play an indirect role in maintaining the life support of the planet. Butwith the indiscriminate spraying of pesticides we are threatening the veryframework on which the continuity of the natural world is based. Beeswhich are the primary pollinators are fast disappearing from theworld and nobody in the world has been able to even come up withan explanation.
With such a critical link in peril shouldnt we at least try to something ?
But what should I say... Do we even know such a thing is happening ?

The halocene extinction ! Ever
heard of this term ? Incase you have not heard it then it only
justifies my view of the mass media being able to give you a
illussion of fantasy .

First and foremost the extinctions caused by humans is totally
different because that it involves total removal of a species
including it's replacements and even the ecosystem itself.
For example when we drain the wetlands all across the country
all the species that inhabit the wetlands are gone and is not
replaced by another species . In simple words we kill by removing
the habitat itself and hence there is no oppurchunity of new life .Simply life does not grow on concrete !
There were mass extinctions in the history of the planet before
and afterall we do not have dinosours now. So what is the big
deal ? species come and go and that is part of the natural cycle of
life. Infact the current variety oflife is estimated to be only 1% of
all the species that ever lived on the planet . While this argument
looks sound for the average person to use it as a justification for
the plunder of the planet , it fails miserably when we just look at
it deeper.
One simple proof for the fact that world is dying is the reality
that species all across the world are getting extinct . The rate
of extinctions are so high that it is predicted that we will loose
half of the world species by the year 2050 !
Further the current rate of extinction is thousands of times faster
than ever before.
Quite simply the life force is moving away from the planet .
Frankly it really hurts me that life is replaced with concrete but
nonetheless it seems tthat is what we want !
in simple words a species becomes extinct because the habitat is
no longer suitable to sustain it. If species are going extinct all the
time then does it tell you that the planet is losing its life.

Remember that the planet is just rocks and gases and it the
actions of the fellow inhabitants that made the planet
hospitable. If we are losing them then what do we expect for the
future ?We are ignoring such a basic fact of life as we havebecome obcessed with economic growth. The land we have
can sustain only a certain amount of life in a healthy way and
anything more than that can only come at the expense of
another. we might now exploit the fellow animals of the planet
for now but soon it will between us .Oops ...Sorry ...we are
already exploiting ourselves for the sake of ourselves.

We have become so much alienated from the natural world that weknow nothing about it. With ignorance comes fear of unknown.So we have reached a stage where even harmless little jumpingspiders like the one above which is less than 0.5cm , are dangerous
and are supposed to squashed at the mere sight of them. If thereis bee squash it. If there is a cockroach squash it. This seems to bethe attitude we all carry. In the initial times humans were afraidof certain aspects of the natural world after all , like all animals wewere also part of the food chain. We were afraid of tigers, leopardsetc. Now with them no longer posing any threat we haveresorted to the timid ones . we kill snakes on sight even withoutknowing whether they are venomous are not. Even if they arevenomous we hardly ever know their behavior . If we had known
their behavior we would have known that none of them bite uswithout any provocation.
Right now it is almost like we are finding an excuse to kill some thing,Now we are advertised that soil contain germs and hence it isdangerous. Of course soil contains germs but they do not tell us thatwe have inbuilt immunity for it. We are shown computergenerated characters as germs showing that they planning to hurt
humans. We might think these do not affect our decisions butthink how much we changed over the last few years.
Everything is dangerous now !

Turning them into beggars:
Animals in the wild are perfectlycapable of finding their ownfood and if some particular
individual is not able to doso , it perishes. That is theway the species is kepthealthy as a whole. Wehumans destroy their naturalhabitat and build our ownstructures thus denying them places to forage for food.So what do we do ? Give
themhandouts and call ourselveskind hearted ! We cangive N number of reasons like nature lovers, kindhearted, personal relaxation,personal belief that they are our ancestors etc but thefact is our feeding habit hasmany hidden
consequences. First and the most obvious is that itcreates dependency on us.The less obvious one is that ofcompetition. Not all speciesof the birds come to gethandouts , so the ones whichcome tend to fare better asthey are well fed now. Also
these well fed ones ,reproducemore than the others.
Ever wondered why crows are all over the place to the extent that wecan hardly see other birds? Crows have simply adapted tohuman feeding and leftovers and hence multiplied in numbers.These well fed birds in most times compete with others for nestingplaces and are more successful . Wild animals are not beggars at the mercy of humans. Unlike us , when they look at the
world around them , they know where to get the food.

The real killer of the planet is the fact that , we enjoy doing all
the above ,both physically and mentally. Since we are used to
this kind of behavior over thousands of years ,we derive mentaland physical pleasure out of it and thus we have defined
these as aspects of better living. All the above aspects I
mentioned like having multiple kids, taking the easy option,
controlling others, competing , being normal etc all are
enjoyable things to us.

and hence they always indulge in exploitation over the
long term. They also engage the best of minds to do
their activities. So, rather than the best minds working to savethe planet, we have the opposite scenario. The best minds are
making the best plans to exploit and make more profit.

Our pathetic communication system :
We use language to communicate with each other and we are so proud
of inventing language that we use it as one of the differentiators
to tell ourselves that we are superior than animal world. If the goal of
communication is getting the other person the message in thesame way you perceive it , then our system of words is pathetic. I
am saying pathetic because the words are subjective and carry
different depths of meaning from one person to another.
When I say I love nature I actually mean I am ready to die for it and I
have heard other people use the same line but their meaning of love
goes only until taking a picture in the mountain top. When I meet this
person I can say the line and he can say the same line to me, but is themeaning same ? Do you have any idea how we can overcome this
fundamental flaw in our word based communication system ?
We can think something, act some other way and tell something and the
other person will not even know about it. In case the same thing happens
in the world of dogs the situation would be entirely dfferent.
Hypothetically if one dog which is not well tells another dog that it is
fine, the other dog would immediately know it is false because it can
sense the changes in the other dog. It notices smell, body language etc
and not just the sound from the other dogs mouth. Can we ever do this ?
When a dogs language is a combination of smell, body postures,
behavior pattern, sound etc how can we ever boast ourselves that we
are the best ? 149

So rather than built up wisdom being passed down to the kids
They are just dumped with information , with no real
context or reason. We are made to study stuff without the
reason why we are studying stuff.
It is absurd to realise that as a society we have created a
system which pays a call center employee more than a
teacher who is incharge of the future generation.

and rules of the
government without questioning them.
There is also another reason why education is failing to create
people with reasoning skills. In the earlier scenario , teaching
was done by the most talented and intellectually brilliant minds
that was available. The people who were teacher were the one's
with the most knowledge which was built up not just by reading
books but with real life experience. In simple words in earliereducation before the advent of modern civilisation teachers
imparted wisdom and not just data.
What we are getting through the current system of education is
just infomation which is thaught by people who are themselves
clueless. I am not degrading teachers of today . I am just
pinpointing the sad reality , where teachers , who should have
been the most respected people in the society are now reduced
to a lower level because of the concept of economics. Ideally
the most brilliant minds should be the one's training the most
young one's since the future depends on the young one' but in
the modern economic scenario the entire thing is upside down.
The most brilliant minds are now made to chase after money in
some MNC's and only the one's who have little or no option
come to teaching because teachers are paid less.

Remember the earlier solgans "we two ,ours two""we two , ours one ". Do you see any of themtoday ? You will not because of the moderneconomic agenda.
See, the fact is , more the population means morethe work force and more the workforce meansmore the competition for the jobs and it meansultimately low cost labour. It also concens withageing population and the avilability of youngworkers to fill the gap. In this quest for youngskilled workers , governments of devlopingnations are ignoring the overall scenario and areusing low cost labour as a economic tool to lure
foriegn investment.
In both the scenarios plight of the planet takes theback seat !
Eeven though growing population is the root cause
of the issues of scarcity and exploitation , thegovernment will not do anything to addressthe issue. In fact the government has actuallystopped even the little things it earlier did.
While in developed nations government areincentivising people via tax breaks to have morechildren just to fuel the economy.

Even further , our arrogance makes us list them as pests based onsimple studies done by someone wearing a labcoat !
Thousands of new insects are being discovered every year and the list seemsto be endless. Even with the ones identified , we are left with little data onwhat they do. With us not even in a position to list down these little ones,what makes us think that we know everything about an ecosystem ?What kind of ecosystem study do we undertake without even knowing whatis living there ? Insects are the vital chain in the nutrient cycle and yetwe cant even list them down. Yet we act like experts !

Recently I saw a mass stunt orchestrated by so called earth loversby the way of earth hour. All the people of the world are
supposed to switch off everything for one hour and thereby they aregiving a symbolic gesture to reduce energy usage. What a joke ! Firstand foremost if you want to do it, do it for real ,daily, not givegestures. Secondly the real issue in energy usage is actuallyrampant consumerism and only after that comes the actual energyusage of the appliance. Nokia did a study and found that 70% ofenergy consumed by a phone in its life time does not come fromusage but from the manufacturing process itself.
Deflecting the issue :
Think for yourself - where do you think the materials used for
manufacturing the phone comes from ? Doesn't mining involveenergy ? Why are we ignoring the issue all together ? If we all were touse the same phone for our lifetime itself much of our wastefulenergy usage will be reduced. But can we do that ? We all wantiphone 1 to 5 and what ever that comes next ! I am not sayingswitching o does not do any good , I am just saying we are nottackling the main problem. It is not by chance we are ignoring it ratherwe are deliberately manip ulated by the media to avoid anything thatquestions consumerism. When are we going to act like a grownup and
start asking the right questions ?

choice in that. )e have only one !
1ou may feel that, I am pin pointing only the negative things in
life and I am not able to see the positive aspect of life. I totallydeny it. It is only because I saw the most beautiful part of life that
I am pushed to highlight the things that are killing this planet.
The world is a beautiful place if only you know to open your
mind. The planet is our friend and it will always be that way if
only we know how to embrace it. #t is a shame that with our
utter stupidity, we are turning this vibrant world into a concretesmoke factory.
gain frankly speaking I have little hope that any of the above
will happen because of the way people behave , but, that little
hope can lead to a miracle one day.
