The Legacy of Hope

Have we ever wondered why we humans find so many reasons to be unhappy? To fight among ourselves, to kill each other, to defy the very essence of humanity and life.Have we ever wondered when this world we live in, will end its fears and tears?We have become so hardened these days that an unfortunate death has become a part of life, just another news as long as it has nothing to do with us. Life goes on. We carry on. We need to move on. It becomes easier everytime.Is this how we were all intended to live?Animals too kill each other, yes. For food and survival even then only when it has too. Then it goes back living, respecting life and the nature that provides it. But we are the higher and gifted creations of God. We have power even over nature's creations. Whether to protect them or destroy is in our hands.When the last bird drops dead, when the last fish turns belly up, when the last drop of water becomes polluted, are we going to start eating our cash and credit cards?Have we ever wondered why we are living in a world so full of beauty and intelligence that even a minute cell knows its role in this existence? There must some higher reason for this whole concept of life?As humans, we are capable of many wonderful, precious things... of love, of forgiveness, of humanity. Yet, we continue living this way, in hatred and in sorrow? It doesn't make sense.We have the will, choice and power to decide what we want out of this world. What are we going to choose?Our children, our future legacy is going to take over the reins of world. Within a century from now, we will all be dead. What are we living behind for them. At least, some hope?GOT IT!
