Nature vs Corona-virus

Mother Nature has an active role in maintaining the life and growth of all the species on this planet earth including the human species which is provided with a special part in their brains called intellect to be used discretely. As a loving mother takes good care of her children, nature has provided human beings everything that is necessary for living a good life, like pure air to breath, clean water to drink, good food like fruits, vegetables, grains etc. to eat and last but not the least beautiful surroundings to live a healthy life.
The man with his super intellect and arrogance has intruded in a perfectly managed system called Nature in the name of progress and development, so much that today we don't have pure air to breathe, no clean water to drink and no hygienic places to live in. All these things combined can’t give immunity to our physical body. We have so many vehicles running on petrol and diesel creating pollution in the air. Industrialists dump their waste into rivers unaware that water seeps underground and enters other water bodies in the nearby area, polluting the water. To top it all off, our so called educated people with their moral and civic standard have created such messy and largely littered surroundings. Our civic administration is not addressing this issue. This is a matter of grave concern to our societies.
It is now time to get the message: we have to get back the love of our Mother Nature who we have so callously wrecked beyond repair.
If all of us can come together as one during this Corona crisis, we can also be together to get back our lost paradise by promoting planting trees, flowers fruits etc. in our surroundings. Surely it will be a beautiful world with bees and butterflies communicating their gratitude towards you, also changing our attitude and style of living. It will be great if our Govt also take interest in promoting nature in every infrastructure and development planning.
So many new diseases are cropping up, the latest being COVID19, the Corona virus. A couple of years ago there were many more like Dengue, Malaria, Swine flu, Chikungunya etc. Those who had lived in India in the 1940s and 50s even had to face the deadly Plague, Cholera, Typhoid, Smallpox … the list is quite big. Our scientists have found vaccines for all these deadly diseases and got them eradicated. Corona has spread all over the world and we are yet to find a vaccine for it. We wait for such situations, we wait for these deaths to happen and then we wait yet again, just to find a solution for a problem that could have easily been prevented just by keeping a balance between progress and development.
