Killing the Living

One late night, sitting on a broken bench near a roadside hotel, a guy watches the customers and business. A sudden incident near that hotel stunned him. After returning home, his mind pondered over the thoughts of that event and confounded him. His dreams were all about that incident. Those dreams uncover some truths and facts and gave a clear view and understanding of that incident. Let us take a glance at that dream which he got in that night. A dream journey!!

The energy in this expanding universe we can say, “neither can be created nor can be destroyed; it flows from one to another”. Similarly, life also doesn’t have a starting or ending, it just flows from one living to another. The flow of life and energy are identical. “What is Killing the Living”? A survival technique of a living, which is governed and taken care of by nature. If killing a living is wrong, then no living can survive in this world. Unless the survival flow intervened, nothing is wrong. Then, Is it right? Killing for dominance or greed or any reason which interrupts the survival flow of nature isn’t right. Still, we go deep.

The killing VS survival ratio, food chain, and life flow are all interconnected. A living should never try to alter or dictate any of the above for any reason. Crossing the limits lead to endanger or even further will cause extinction. Besides, some questions remain. An illustration always clears more questions.

A starving cheetah slaying a small deer is similar to the deer grazing a grassland. “Killing the Living” occurs in both actions. Killing is killing. The count of senses doesn’t matter. Though killing thousands of living for dominance or killing for fun is not the same. But killing is inevitable. The undisputed survival flow is a vital component of this expanding universe. It happens. A living killed by another remains a source to live for another living. Slaughtering cheetahs to save deer or providing a herd of deer to cheetahs is both wrong. For a cheetah which deer, when, and where will be decided by the life flow. How? Only that will be taken care of by that cheetah. Anyhow, a cheetah is about to kill a deer, then what is the purpose of that deer’s life? Everything is purposeful.

At last, the journey ends here. The thoughts and facts are the responses that came from the inner mind. Yet, that guy told nothing about that roadside incident. What happened?

Maybe he thought to leave that part to you.
