You OK, I am OK

2015 was with few happy happenings like Iran Nuclear deal, Climatic Change deal, Possibility of Water in Mars. But it was more of a gloomy year filled with natural disasters, slow economy, drop in oil prices, Europe Migrant crisis. Natural catastrophes like Nepal earthquake, Kota Kinabalu earthquake, Chile earthquake, Floods in Chennai, Malaysia, Stampede in Mecca. Man made disasters - Forest fires in Indonesia and continued haze affecting South East Asia. Along with this was growing ISIS terrorism, Paris attacks, Syria strikes, US national wide travel alerts many of these which has made neighbors as strangers. Greetings have become grim and colder than being warm and cheerful.

All of these seem like nature responding to the three stages of its relationship with mankind. 

• You are Ok...I am Ok, 
• If you are not Ok...I am still Ok, 
• If you are still not Ok...then I am also not Ok.

Explosive population growth in last century (see graph), has made survival of smartest and most cunning. Mankind has always tried to achieve authority, power, money, luxury and fame within shorter periods. This has made many cultured communities as past. Today mankind has transformed into self-centered individuals with zero tolerance to fellow individuals. By this transformation mankind is defining respect with negative attributes. Humanitarian considerations are at lowest levels.

Solution to problem of explosive population growth has recently come out in few fiction stories - population culling on mass level. Question of morality & ethics apart, they are interesting watch as well read. Movie's such as Kingsman Secret Service and upcoming movie Inferno which is based on novel by Dan Brown under same name are few. While fiction is imagination blend with innovation, nature seems to respond with natural disasters as the outcome of third stage of its relationship with mankind.

Mankind on other hand seem a funny creation. Most men portray themselves as a different self for sake of surviving among the self-centered individuals. When nature strikes, the helping nature of many comes out, their humanitarian instincts are predominant along with survival instinct. Does nature respond with natural disasters to bring in some senses to the overly self-centered individuals? Is nature trying to mend its relationship with mankind? Is mankind living a false self?

Hope these thoughts ring bell in all. Let it start with 1 thing. Do our part and not wait for things to happen. Let mankind survive for many millions of years to come.
