It's time

The epicenter of the recent quake was at a distance of roughly 1223 kms from Delhi. A flight to Kathmandu is, approximately, 1 hour 45 minutes and perhaps another some hours to the place, which was the epicenter. Nature's wrath, for the same distance, took a few nano seconds to reach Delhi.

Humans are so instinctively greedy and assume to be most powerful. We acquire lands, build structures and shrines. And then, we fight for all that. We have ammunition to reinforce the power and consistently claim every inch of this earth assuming it was all meant for us and will, forever, be there for us.

As I look at the pictures of shattered man made faith, temples that became naught and idols that now are rubble, something tells me that it's time we stopped assuming, it's time we stopped fighting, it's time we stopped acquiring and it's time we stopped wrecking.
