We all know that there has been catastrophic floods in Pakistan and some parts of India. I was looking at this old man who clinched to something to save his life.

Here’s the video for you to look before we go further:

Now immediately looking at this video one feels that all the God (s) that one might have prayed to have gone AWOL and all the Messiahs, Prophets that claim to have been roamed on earth claiming to do all sorts of Magic and Miracles were really normal Human Beings and cannot save one from the wrath of Nature.

It really shows that even in 21st Century and after millions of years of evolution, Mankind has not been able to come to accept that Nature is bigger than any religion or any human being. We have continuously misused nature for our own profits – large or small.

But coming back to the point, we can clearly see that the Old Man here was struggling and a guy was filming him, no one out of hundreds of people there tried to save this person but only one came to the rescue. It is appalling.  We are not on earth to be treated like this. It could have been any one of us.

The Old Man seemed so helpless that it rages me in anger. Surely if Nations around the world could spend over $3 trillion in saving sick-Banks and sicker-Bankers, they could have spent it in making sure that Floods like these do not happen. If there is no answer to Nature’s wrath (like Nature’s love) then there must been more technology and logistic made available to rescue every person stuck in this situation. But this did not happen.

Put yourself in this guys shoe. Imagine you are coming back from work, and your wife, child, parents and family members are waiting for you at the dinner table – suddenly Nature wakes up with bad mood and you are stuck for hours and then days and then you just end up as a statistics in some major catastrophe… Now imagine what would be going in your head while all this is happening.

This Old Man surely wasnt hanging-on to save his life, but there would be whole flash back of good memories of his family going in his head. He would obviously be concerned about any and everyone dear to him while his was hanging-on.

I hate of the fact that I couldnt help and I hate the fact that as Human Species we opted to go to the Moon but even after millions of years – we are just alien to this planet. We are simple puppets, which can be washed away within a minute. I hate the fact that we cannot even defend ourselves. I hate the fact that like dinosaurs got extinct one day – we too will be wiped out and there wont be any trace. No Science – No Religion will ever be able to save us. We have no say or we cannot make our own future. We are negligible - all our achievements  are worthless. All the fasting and praying is worthless.  Depressing! We are nobodies.

So we have only option – lets treat each other right, and recognise Humanism as the only religion and duty of all. We should not let our fellow people die of Man-Made-Reasons or Technology – because there is a much powerful force existence than Mankind and we must do all we can to defend ourselves and our future generations.

Forget about heavens make Prophets save us on the Planet Earth.
