Environment! By:Teymur Roshdi Smashwords Edition Copyright2011-Teymur Roshdi
Planet Earth in the solar system is said that it is located on the Milky Way galaxy. If the solar system and the milky way galaxy were unique in the universe, then we could, just we could deduce that our planet is the only place where the Life in its various forms has been favored. But we know that the universe is infinite and there are innumerable celestial bodies and "galaxies".
The key which would enable us to realize a tiny part of what is happening around us is to consider all the various forms of life on our planet. Life begins from the unicellular and multicellular microscopic or sometimes invisible bits of living bodies (microbes, viruses, bacteria, etc...) to the huge and strikingly amazing creatures of the oceans and junggles. By watching the different species of creatures in the deep oceans, we notice that Nature has tried everything and all shapes and not a single form which could touch lightly our imagination has been neglected. Some of them are so perfect, equiped with radars and all sort of signal sending organs that if they laugh at our most sophisticated submarins,
they are right. Their design would never undergo any error , while our most advanced electronic 'ships' are always subject of human error.
What is our lack and failure that we always wanted to copy the animals (or even our own brain), flying in the sky and submerging in the deep oceans and this with awkwardness? For millions years all living bodies on the ground, in the sky and in deep oceans, following a natural order, had communication with each others without the least word, without using languages, the mother whale doesn't need using word to show her love for her baby and the father whale doesn't need to say 'I love you' to his mate, they just love. There is no bounderies for the oceans creatures to move from one continent to another, neither for the birds to migrate wherever they want.
Now given our planet is not only divided in sky, water and ground, what we know about the underground? If in the profundity of the water, incredible species of animals are living, what proves that in the same profundity of the underground, there are not lot of species of living bodies who have been perfectly adapted with their surrounding and are able to survive even without
oxygen and light? What makes the mystery of the caves? Are we sure that in the
inumerable caves we have underground no humanoids live? Are we sure if the prehistorical men of caves didn't survive and didn't continue their 'primitive' life untill now?
We didn't yet explore everything on our planet earth and we know very few about the north and south poles. Lot of questions and mysteries are awaiting their answer.
I noticed in most if not in all science-fiction movies about the space travel and the possible existence of other sort of creatures on the other planets in other galaxies that they is always a manichean line which separate the 'bad','evil',
'hostile', 'predatory' from the 'good' and the 'friendly' ones and we should always be on our 'best' defensive system to defend the 'good cause'. Why should we think about the extraterrestrial 'intelligent' beings as a sort of civilization? Are the living creatures in deep oceans and the flying creatures in the sky a civilization? Isn't just being and living eloquent enough? Are our words and languages more significant than the 'silent speech' of animals? Why we think that the underground creatures or the ones living in caves or the supposedly extraterrestrial living bodies should always look or be like malevolent
'monsters'?
We always envied the animals for what they are able to do and we always tried to copy them. We succeeded somehow since one century ago till now, we can send wireless messages, what the dolphins , whales and all the others under the waters did for millions years. The computers are artificial intelligence, but the birds for millions years used mathematic to evaluate everything on the earth and calculate their migration or signal sending and lot of other things.We are so novice in all our 'inventions' and 'high tech' tools, that compared to the natural intelligence, we seem like clowns who try to imitate the nature and we produce a funny clownry.
The result of the 'human genius' was sending the poisons to the waters, air and undergrounds and now we are surprised by the global warming, the destructed ozone layer and the pollution of the air.
The respect of life is not only to keep dolphins in huge aquariums for the amusement of our children. The respect of environment is not just to forbid smoking cigarettes and to dedicate some area to some sort of animals and to call them 'reserved area' and being proud of our ingeniosity for the preservation of
the species. The respect of life is just to let the nature doing its duty because it knows everything better than us, and for sure it is more intelligent than us.
