You are not considered part of a vibrant school kids group if you do not own a copy of harry potter in home and don’t play video games in your dad’s laptop. If you do not carry a blackberry, then you don’t belong to corporate freq or a frequent traveler. Similarly if you don’t talk about global terrorism and climate change nowadays then you may be considered outdated person among the intellectuals. So better we too talk about it! .
Terrorism and Climate change are the two top political agenda of the developed and developing countries apart from the owes of reversing the global trade slow down, Recession and Depression. It was funny for me to know that ,the Recession is called as Depression when the GDP is de-growing by more than 10%....another way of defining this two terms would be …when a neighbor lose his job it is called as Recession and when we lose the job it is called as Depression….
Let us also join the elite group by discussing about these two hot topics. (The hottest for us now would be something between Mr.Yeddiurappa and Reddy brothers)
What these climate changes mean to me? Do I know anything about it? Whether it has affected me in anyway? The answer for these questions would be. Climate change means nothing to me. I know that it is going to affect the very livelihood of mankind on the earth in the future. No it has not affected me yet.
Then should I be really bothered about it…..off course yes….knowing the fact that the earth, water recourses, climate and whatever natural resources I have for me today is because of the great grand fathers preserved, fostered it for me …and gifted through their judicial use ….then should I not pass on the benefits rather fears to my generations to come…yes it is my duty, responsibility and obligation to preserve the globe and earth and hand it over to the future generation their fundamental rights….
The prescription for both these syndromes climate change and terrorism can come from many doctors, scholars and learned experts on these subjects…..but as a quack doctor myself I would like to draw the remedies from the school of Gandhiji and the gardens of Gandigiri…I hope this is an attempt to find a panacea from well known medicaments.
The remedy for terrorism will be from the tonic of Ahimsa, tolerance and intolerance. Show tolerance for fellow citizen and show intolerance only through Ahimsa.
Regarding the second syndrome, he says “the earth has enough for human need but not for human greed” …what a remedy….a long term cure….not a quick fix….because we know that short term solutions are long term problems….long term solutions may not come out of quick fixes.
If we start to use our natural resources judicially….devastations of magnanimous magnitude can be prevented in the future….
No amount of sitting and talking will do good than getting out and plant trees and preserve the one already there…spreading awareness and demonstrating by living as an example by planting trees on all household ceremonies ,festivals and special worship days. Spiritual leaders can instigate people to plant trees as a religious ritual replacing the foolish and meaningless ones…..
I hope I make some sense by talking …let me make more sense by actually doing what I am talking….Please let us save the planet earth for our grand children…. Will our grandchildren own this planet earth their very fundamental right….
