Dear
friends,
On a rainy
day I was sitting in my courtyard. The raindrops fell on the cement ground with
a certain sound. When I listened to it carefully, it sounded as if they were
telling me something and I listened carefully. They seemed to say,
“Dear
Friend,
I was sent
away by little Johny at first. But I didn’t know that mankind would send me
completely away from their environment. I have been terribly disturbed for the
past few years. Mankind has destroyed my balance and my atmosphere. I used to
feel very proud of myself as my arrival was always a pleasure to farmers and
children. But now they themselves delay my arrival by cutting down trees and committing
cruel activities that lead to global warming. I was deeply hurt when they
contaminated me with harmful gases and acids. The water bodies that I originate
from are terribly polluted due to so-called development.
All these
led to many disturbances and imbalances in my life cycle. When I did not rain
down people cursed me and called the situation ‘drought’. When I did not stop
pouring, they hated me more for creating a flood. But are these self-created
hazards?
Many
students are taught how to save me and their environment. But they view these
lessons only as a part of their burden of studies.
Man invents
many things to make his life easy, but he does not try to save my life, without
which he would not survive.
If this
continues, a day will come when neither I nor you can control me.”
Saying this the
last drop fell to the ground.
