The Nature's Foiled Masterplan


The innocence of a baby need not be proved. But as soon as the journey of manhood begins, the innocence of a child is tarnished by the harsh experiences of life. Every creation seems so perfect when formed. But with the passage of time, its glory is lost. Has the glory of our planet also withered with time?

For a moment imagine a tiny Earth amidst the unending universe. You see the stars cluttered all over the space. Lets zoom in. You see a beautiful blue planet which appears to be the most blessed of all. It seems serene, lovely. As you try to have a closer look, you see the clouds swaying gently. Feels like a masterstroke from the nature. Try to imagine beneath the clouds. You see the borders. You hear the birds chirping. You sense life, finally. It still seems very peaceful and calm. But as you try to zoom in further, your calmness is shattered to pieces. Rushing crowds. Nasty fights. Noisy protests. Burning houses. Weeping kids. Your mind ruptures. Your heart pounds. Your breath fastens. Does it still appear a masterpiece to you? Does it still look like a perfect plan of nature?

Every creation of nature is a masterstroke and Earth is no exception. But as it faced the storm of mankind in the sands of time, everything metamorphosed. Rivers began dividing lands instead of nurturing civilizations. Pigeons started to deliver messages of war. Thick forests became history. Animals ran out of homes. Many even became extinct. The Earth panicked as a blanket of pollutants enveloped it. The global temperature shot up till even the ice at the poles gave up. The weather cycle was destroyed. But there was hardly any ear listening to the crying Earth. Then, it erupted. It sent its furious Tsunamis and tornadoes in defense. But all the sacrifices it made of its own children went futile. Humans became the gods and the creators of the universe zoomed out their view of mercy from the Earth to the rest of the universe. Nature had proposed a masterplan for Earth, humans thwarted it.

An innocent Earth was planned. A clean blue planet was to be formed. But the harshness of mankind tarnished it. Its innocence was lost. And with the mistake of creating humans, the baby Earth lost its innocence.
