The Calamity is a wake-up Call
Finally we are out of the jaws of Taukte cyclone. If you look at the frequency and severity of the number of cyclones happening in the Arabian Sea, we can observe that, there is a considerable increase in the last few years, which means that Arabian Sea also started showing terrific signs of climatic change hazard. That means, considering the increase in the carbon footprint and also due to other man made reasons, they are going to increase only; that means that our lives are going to be in Jaws of such intense cyclones more often; which means that the probability that many of our near and dear ones losing life due to the effects of climate change is going to rise.
This time and the last few times, our prayers have been answered by nature, but that may not be always the case. These calamities has to be seen as a wake-up call for us to take swift action. If we we ignore such wake-up calls, we may take ourselves to a point where no corrective action can revert the situation. If you really look into the statistics, that "no-revert" point is actually very close. it's actually staring at us point blank. It's like Now or Never situation.
My suggestion to all all those who have earnestly prayed for safety from the cyclone is to take strong promises that we will preserve our mother nature. It should be from an individual level. The time, where we can think that, the Government or other NGOs will do that, is all over. It's all over guys. So wake up at least now. The attitude to such a wake-up call situation could be: 1. We escaped this time, and we would escape similarly always. 2. I don't pray for my life and that of my dear ones; everybody will die one day; So I am not going to change my lifestyle. 3. Nature has given enough warnings. So let me take intense action and make it the priority of my life. Nature has answered my prayers many times. So it's my responsibility to act my part in the corrective process.
In fact, nature does not want you and me to protect her. If we don't behave responsibly, our story will be done forever and nature will be as much a better place without you and me. Nothing is going to happen for nature. The air, the water, the rivers and animals will have a better place without us
So, if we wish to survive as a species, we should make the correction in our lifestyle the highest priority of our lives. At the micro level, what exactly is the correction, is yet another big topic to ponder. But the first and foremost, is the shift in attitude, taking the "U" turn before the time expires for that too.
