It
happened in the jungle, it was terrible, tragic and dramatic. This is
what happened: A man went into the jungle and found a lion, who attacked
him, biting his leg. The man was lucky because he was rescued before it
was too late, but he spent a long time in the hospital. When he
regained his strength back, he organized a team, to capture the lion and
after, he took the lion, in front of the townspeople and
brought the judge of the area, trying to get his approval to execute the
lion. It happened that the lion was in a cage in the town square and the
man showed his wounds to the judge and said:
I ask for justice Sir, this evil animal attacked and bit me, I almost
lost my leg and I was a long time, while recuperating in the hospital.
To make amends, I ask for the life of this
lion, I want his head and fur, so I can place them as decoration in my
living room."
And the judge answered: "Let's consider one thing at the time: Tell me
Sir, did you go the house
of the lion?"
"Yes, Sir, said the hunter."
And the judge kept saying: "Are you a natural inhabitant of the jungle?"
And the hunter said: " No, Sir, I live very far away, in another city."
Then, the judge said: "Tell me, if you live in another city, what are you
trying to do, by going to the dwelling of the lion? If you tried to enter
my house, without authorization, you could face many horrible things. I
found the lion to be innocent and you to be guilty. I order the lion to be
liberated and taken back to his natural habitat.
And
you are completely forbidden, of visiting the jungle because it has been
ratified, that you are the instigator, of your own evil. We want to make
clear that all beings must have their own space and the ones who do not
occupy their natural place, are considered to be invaders. I find you
guilty and you must do one year of community work and from this moment,
your function will be, to clean this town square."
It was then, established that each one is king, in his own place and nobody
should look for problems in places, where they do not belong. Nature, is a
sanctuary and as such, has its norms and laws and if we go beyond our
limits, we will be risking to lose our own lives. Let's respect the
natural spaces.
What will man do after all the animals become
extinct? after he cuts down all the trees? The answer is simple; after man
has harmed all that he must not, he will go against himself. And finally
if men continue doing, what they are doing, they will kill themselves.
Let's leave the lion in the jungle, the tree in the forest and lastly, man
in the city; and if he wants to come near Nature, he must respect,
appreciate, honor and admire but he must never feel to have the power and
authority of destroying or harming.
Nature is the primordial source of
life and life must be admired and respected.
