It’s 4 in the morning and I just can’t seem to fall asleep. So
just to make myself useful and get less scared of random scary images in my
mind, I am writing this. Now it’s not at all about my boyfriend or love life. I
am just going to try writing about some deep things. The following lines are about
things that don’t actually occur to my mind much.
As a young (I feel old) writer. Well not a real writer
though, but I have been getting this feeling to jot down something about the
very disheartening natural disaster that has occurred in Nepal. Several earthquakes
have crushed Nepal. It has left the whole world with great sympathy for the
country and its people. It’s sad to see people die. It’s so sad to see people
suffer and it’s so sad we can’t really stop our mother earth from being rude.
I am sad for Nepal and I have the country and its people in
my heart, in my prayers but I have been wondering why so much of death tolls
and destructions because of earthquake. I am a geography student and I fail to
remember any earthquake that has caused this much destruction within a short
period of time.
I have been thinking about it for several days now and I wonder
if it is due to the ritual of sacrificing animals (ox, Buffalo, etc) to please their goddess. If it’s so, may be they pleased their goddess yet
has totally done the reverse to mother earth. Is the mother upset with the
heartless harm to her children? She is, certainly! It must be why she is being uncaring too as for mother earth, every creature is her child; harming one would always mean
being inconsiderate to her.
I feel it’s like the karmic concept. What goes around comes
around. Harm others and it bounces back, hitting hard. So, I wish the
ritual of sacrificing animal stops and the mother earth stops being
inconsiderate.
But right now, I am praying for Nepal. Praying to mother
earth and begging for forgiveness. I am praying that Nepal bravely passes this
phase and rises up stronger than ever! Nepal has all my prayers!
P.S. These are my thoughts and about the destruction of earthquake in past..i am just too sleepy to verify it. So the readers please correct me if i am wrong. Thank you! :)
