Gone are the days when we could enjoy dark nights and the beautiful miracle of nature at night in the form of uncountable stars in the unfathomable sea of the sky. The cities are full of light and very little places are kept dark unlighted. The citizens are unable to get a glimpse of the sky and its glowing stars anymore. One has to leave the city and go far away towards the mountains or forests if he wants to enjoy this beauty. It was once easily done by climbing your house roof top. We took it for granted those days and now even for watching the stars at night, we have to move away from all the hustle and bustle of the city which takes both time and energy. It is a sentence of nature for all of us.
I tried the same and moved away from my city's lights and tried to enjoy a natural light of the stars. I moved towards the mountains which is half an hour away from city and hoping that I will be able to have a glimpse of the natural darkness and dim lights in the sky. I took this picture of the city (although picture is not clear as was captured from a smartphone camera) to let you see the far away lights of the city.
Unfortunately I was unable to enjoy the stars even from that far away and only few people I met there who told me that in order to enjoy the natural lights of sky, I had to actually get to the other side of the mountains and cross them away from the city (my city is covered with high mountains all around it). I thought this way I have to even work more and had to stay a night towards the other end of the mountain as hiking at night is not safe and that I had to do a camping one whole night.
This is very regretting for all of us that it is very hard for us to enjoy nature and that too due to our own doings. Isn't it a message for all of us?
Why we could not enjoy nature the way our ancestors did?
Isn't it the root cause of many bad happenings in our communities and societies?
We should all sit and think about it. A part from other pollution, we have even polluted the natural darkness of our homeland and remember that whenever we tried to change the way nature is, we suffered. So we should take awareness and try to enjoy the nature the way it is rather then trying to change it and in doing so, ruin its natural beauty and blessings.
Just think about it...
