World Environment Day
When the teenagers today are busy playing Piano Tiles or tweeting or stalking somebody on Facebook, I took out a little time to write this. I would've been doing the same had I not been galvanised by something that I read on Twitter yesterday. And you would ask why. Why? I'm not sure. Do I plan to motivate you? Maybe. Do I plan to talk about something of sobriety? Definitely. This is something that is heart wrenching for me. We constitute maybe two percent of the Earth and yet we want to be the masters, the hegemons of it. We think of ourselves as the Creator. "We have not inherited this planet from our ancestors, rather borrowed it from our future," and other stimulating quotes like these go in vain. We made these quotes yet we don't abide by them. How many of you know it is the World Environment Day today? Are you saying 'yes' because you read the title of this article a while ago? Until yesterday, I myself wouldn't have known about it too.
