We are only Human
Disasters are of two kinds, Natural and
Manmade. When they are manmade, the blame is purely on the fellow humans who
are responsible for the acts of cruelty. But, are all-natural disasters, truly Natural?
Hmm…to a certain extent… maybe…but I feel to an extent we humans also are
party to its planning. Slow and steady, we have abused the planet, and it is
now giving it all back to us, in bits and parts.
The rains that flooded the streets and
households of Mumbai on 26th July 2005 were to some extent a result
of the extensive littering of plastic bags that chocked the drains. That was
the time when the truly human side of every citizen of Mumbai was revealed. Most
people were out on the streets, from the comfort of their homes to help those
in need with food packets and water.
The disastrous earthquake in the Himalayan country, Nepal, has taught us the good side of human nature. Thousand and lakhs
of distorted citizens, tourists are terrified by the massive destruction
caused. Some persons who are voluntary rescuers are toiling their sweat and
blood to remove the debris and bodies of those who are stuck in the rubble. Hats
off to the persons who are voluntarily doing all the required help.
These people who help need not be those on
duty. They are one of us, common people.
Keep the spirit going..It's not about the
amount of help, money, or donations.. it's about the gesture of Kindness.. It's
about helping another Human in Need..
