blueberry it appears from the voids of space; our only beloved home, earth. it took millions of years to transform from a ball of fire and gases to the most gorgeous home one can live in. and, yet, in a few thousand years, we humans have driven it to the point of total destruction.
every time we see a spot of water on moon or some planet, we rejoice in the belief that living there would be possible someday. now, how about appreciating our own 'water of life' - the earth's ocean? over fishing, over pollution, over exploitation...have led the oceans to the brink of death, which could mean widespread death on land as well as in the air.
as a kid, in school, i had read about the man who killed the goose that laid a golden egg everyday in his greed to acquire all the golden eggs at once. the goose died and the man lost his daily fortune of a golden egg.
it's a simply story with a simple lesson. yet, in today's global scenario, that man resembles greedy mankind and the unfortunate goose the helpless, dying earth. hopefully, we will learn our lessons in time to save our planet earth, as there is no planet b.
