Honourable people, this is the era of refined taste and lifestyle, so “reel.” Times have changed, and we are at the brim of technological and global progress. Humans have smartened up with AIs enabled to do everything man has been doing for centuries! Advancements have become surreal, and generations are blessed with more comfort and prowess in all fields – good and bad! When all this vast progress builds the world to be a “home,” little do they know that there is a boundary of time that tests the patience of nature in demanding too much of herself for the mere selfishness of man! Let us not forget that tomorrow, we have to see a world with lush green meadows and tall trees – yes, concrete buildings mark the dawn of a new era and a modern world, but green is the core; it is the life, it is the air that helps survive!

When that air is destroyed, and that green is grayed, when that warm air is heated, and when real winters never came when mountains are tunneled. Hills are shortened when roads are laid, vehicles are honked at, animals are denied access to their habitat, and the man takes over the ocean, the sky, and the land; that is when mother nature infuriates in rage and perhaps sweeps the people off their feet for they need to realize what harm they are causing to this ball of life that enables survival of so many different creatures apart from humans!

Look at man’s audacity – millions of small and big creatures equally entitled to this earth are mauled by homo sapiens! Ironically, man is the most intelligent animal in the world who steals, murders, sheds the world of its light, and disrespects nature with his actions. Monkeys, chimpanzees, ostriches, crocodiles, birds, and plants do not seem to be doing such things! They live and let live. They survive and are in harmony.

What a world we shall make if all men spoke of love. What a wonderful world it would be if there is enough for all and if all find everything available. It would be a world of no hate and freedom – freedom from the constant hammering of basic survival! Therefore, honourable people, it is time to wake up. It is time to create a generation that understands the justification of respecting nature to get the best out of it. It would be beautiful if people realized that absolute modernity comes with affection and consideration of how we use nature. There is a fine line between using and exploiting. Once a man understands the difference, there shall be a change!
