Some Thoughts to Share

Have you ever thought of leaving your car at home? No. Right? Walking towards a bus stop, standing in the queue, purchasing a ticket can all be a little troublesome. I agree. But a little trouble for a better tomorrow is acceptable. Right? You might ask, What better future? what me not driving a car can change? Well it can change a lot. Let me take you through a day when Mr. Jim decided to leave his car behind.

One fine day Mr. Jim opened his car's door and his kid called him from behind pulling his shirt "Dada.. Dada.. Can we go walking today?" She continued sensing the confusion on Mr. Jim's face "You know what my teacher said yesterday. If we leave our car behind at least for one day, we can contribute to saving of our planet. Shall we leave it behind today Dada? Let it take rest for a day." Hesitantly agreeing to the kid, Mr. Jim closed the door as he decide give the car rest for a day. Now, Mr. Jim along with his daughter, started walking towards the bus stop, witnessing and enjoying the blooming flowers, singing birds and green magnificent trees. Greeting the old couple and passing a ball to the kids Mr. Jim reach the bus stop.

Mr. Jim saw the long queue which made him a bit hesitant but since its his kid's wish he charged ahead to blend into the queue. Now he took out his phone and was lost into the world of social media only to be brought back to the reality that his daughter is no longer with him. Panic struck Mr. Jim as he started searching for his daughter around. But soon that sensation melted down as Mr. Jim was excited to find his daughter talking and laughing with some other kids from his locality who was otherwise very silent and kept to herself. Mr. Jim also had a good conversation with his neighbors as well. He missed few buses which definitely piped His blood but he brushed it away as he was busy talking to his neighbors. After few minutes Mr. Jim board into a bus along with his daughter and neighbors. The run for seat jogged his old memories where he and his friends used to dash into the bus and hijack seat. The same run brought Mr. Jim face to face with an old friend. Mr. Jim had a good time while the bus was stuck in traffic, instead of honking and cursing the vehicles he was talking and laughing with his neighbors and friends. He had a great day at office as he reached office with the same enthusiasm and happiness.

When you analyse Mr. Jim's day, you will be surprised to realise that Mr. Jim was not only happy but also have contributed to his health and conservation of the environment as well. By walking towards the bus stop Mr. Jim had a great morning walk and by avoiding personal vehicle he reduced emission of carbon dioxide to the environment. See what all benefits a change in lifestyle can bring. So, let's make small changes in our routine and take a step towards life.

The above actions are performed by trained artist and are not to be imitated or attempted at home.

Most of you might have laughed or at least got confused after reading the above statement, right? You might have thought that how getting out of the house, walking around, talking to people or boarding into a bus could be dangerous. Well what if I tell you that if we continue to leave like this, one day in the distant future getting out of our houses will be as dangerous as doing a deep-sea diving or flying into space. Breathing without a filter or getting out without an Anti-Radiation Suit will be just a dream.

Pollution level is increasing day by day and we are adding to it by destroying the nature around us. But what we are not realising is that by destroying the nature we are paving the paths for our own destruction.

Let me take you through a story which was an actual incident but this time let's see it in a different prospective. We all might have come across these mighty lizards which had scaled the face of earth millions of years ago, humongous beast which ruled over the earth for years. But these creatures were so mighty and powerful that they feared non and no one could withstand their mighty wrath.

They scaled the length and breadth of earth and destroyed anything and everything which came in front of them. In their presence no other species could flourish or even exist, not even the less powerful members of their same species could withstand the powerful ones. We might give this act a name "The survival of the fittest". But to our surprise nature decided to eliminate that fittest species so that it might give birth to other creatures.

Now, we humans the present inhabitants of the Earth is digging out fossilized remains of those mighty and powerful lizards and we gave them a name 'Dinosaurs'. In future some other species might dig us out and give us some wonderful name. If we don't want such a future then let's change and chage the world for a better tomorrow.
