The threatening other……..

The birds provides a welcoming start to the day as being one positive unlike previously where all one may well have heard are the sounds of machines roaming and adding to the normal noises which one has associated normal life with. We are living in unprecedented times or are we? With so many theories about and well argued, it seems difficult not to lend attention to one and verily accept that as being perhaps making most sense.
That one is in a war zone against a biological virus created in the laboratory for the sake of imposing undue authority is a latest one that makes sense but whatever it is, one thing for sure is that we are in the midst of a great challenge, A challenge to be where it appears that no other may impose in that there may not be any winners in this tragedy which has taken the world by surprise with pertinent questions being posed as to why is that nearly every part of the world are made to suffer whereas some part remains non affected in spite of being geographically within a shortest striking distance from where the whole thing started.

Is it a simpleton that it arrived as it is widely believed emerging from a market in Wuhan? Or produced deliberately to create havoc around and about? Or is this nature’s way of calling time on the arrogance and the hatred plus violence against its own being? Perhaps it is God’ s plan may say some religious leaders as one not quite understand what fits in His plan. May be it is all kind of history repeating itself very so many 100 of years as we have already stated in previous writing. Or still another occurrence that occurs periodically just to ease the world of its burden! Perhaps it is created to puts us in check from the kind of perpetual abuse we have been engaged in. Or like the Buddhist may say that it is one way to apprehend that life is verily about suffering and that is a way of taking refuge. Whatever it might be, it is also interesting that the negative forces across the globe have been made to halt as well with their own agenda based on destruction, hatred, terror, undue violence and or other negatives.

Where one is to ignore the warning, the tendency would be to carry on as before as if all will be back to what it was before. All a temporary affair. The cry is that it will be the same as previously and that we may carry on with the gross malady of ignoring and or trampling on the other as a way to impose one’s being and carry on living in a fragmented style and keep causing divisions with its hatred at the core of one’s being whilst taking shelter of some powerful force to justify one’s style of living whether non secular or otherwise. Find a cause to live for and seek to create havoc and when this is repeated on oneself there is an uproar as if the norm is that other specie are not entitled to cry foul.

Organised rampant crimes in the form of injustices are everywhere. It is still prevalent in spite of the call to pause. Or how does one makes sense that only four months ago, one may see about five to six chickens roaming freely about in the garden of the next door neighbour to notice one day that there were hardly any in the small enclosure. Then one day, one saw the lady of the house, slicing that same chicken she cared for earlier like giving grains, water and other provisions. Or peeling and taking parts she would require for her own use. No problem for that lady as the naïve may even say at least that she gave them a free range life. Marginally better than those chickens a few miles from her house where similar living entities never see daylight but are slaughtered for the good of the people. Or some might say, at least in this instance she might have the force of the powerful to justify that killing. Whilst there is foul play if these were to be done to the civilised human, that same singular action of seeing a throat being sliced is seen or if done en masse, not seen as awful or when lining up hundreds and thousands of sheep, pigs and cows awaiting slaughtering are seen as ‘normal’. Denying existence ….viewed as normal. Trampling upon wild life and or causing undue subjugation being seen as a normal state of affair as long as nothing happens to the civilised human. The latter organised injustices around and about and keep slighting throats … with all these seen as normal.

Holocaust against other species has become part and parcel of the way of the world ,a world where the brute has its say, where the innocent are taken to places where they await in turn to provide for the wants rather than needs of a world which is bent upon denying some others being whilst crying out for fair play, peace and calm among its specie. Or an observer from an alien planet may see all these scenarios as no more than plain injustices, a way of plain denial of life which is of paramount importance to some beings but denied to others. That in itself is a plain injustice. When will one see that any other regardless of specie needs to be as equally cared for and not be denied life? Or perhaps realise that there may never be peace and calm in a world which is bent upon creating havoc upon some for its own pleasures. The vegans and vegetarians plus other culturally and religious groups already have espoused a way of life which does not trample upon any form of life.
Or what else may need to happen in order to make one as sensitive? That it is time to awake and take some steps towards pro activity which may questions all aspects of one’s life. Or should one just carry on like the lady mentioned earlier who may believe that what she does is fine…. Or the idea of slicing the throat of her chicken so she may feast whilst taking shelter of a powerful force so she may feel free of all guilt against a chicken which a week ago ….even a day earlier was roaming about and may have thought that she was her daily saviour until she revealed her true identity. Which way forward? Who knows?
