We may brave human laws but cannot resist natural laws

The news of natural calamities like earthquakes, floods, drought conditions are taking regular spots in newspaper spaces as headlines and we understand why it is happening so. We humans have done much to deplete the natural resources around us and the consequences are directly acting against human will. Every country has its own legal set up and judiciary system, which formulates rules and regulations for every citizen of that country to follow and abide by. Any citizen violating the laid out rules will have to bear the consequences of the law of the land. Sadly, rules and regulations are everywhere, only the implementation and proper execution have taken a crude backseat. when a child goes to school, he is expected to follow rules laid out by the school authorities. If a child is punished at school for not trimming his nails, he may allow himself to be punished a few times. The next time he is sure to think of a new way to escape punishment by using several tricks his mind may come up with. This is a simple example of how humans violate the rules they make for themselves. On a broader perspective, we can see rules and regulations being broken, being modified according to our convenience at every other place around us. When an apple falls from a tree, it is because the forces of nature acted on the apple and made it fall. Likewise, every natural phenomenon around us happens as a natural consequence of certain set events. Man primarily finds his roots in agriculture. The primitive man depended on agriculture for his sustenance. It is true that man can in no way change the functioning of natural laws. Nature has its own framework and set up within which it operates and any imbalance caused, will directly reflect on the lives of living things on earth. Sparrows that used to be a common sight in front of every balcony now only find a mention in history’s pages. There is no way man can resist super natural powers and whenever he tried to conquer or act against them, he has faced dire consequences in the form of earthquakes, calamities, floods etc. We have to understand that the time has arrived to bring back the ecological balance that existed in our ecosystem to make life on earth friendly and sustainable for the future generations to come.
