Curiosity killed the cat

Foreplay : It's a day after elections and I didn't wish to blog about it regardless of how I am into my local political scene as it really plays a very big part of my life and decision making. For a very simple reason simply because there are too much to say and politics to be are basically perpective. No right and wrong, just the right time and right move. Anyway I am saying that the results are pretty much expected although not what I am hoping for. And I just wish to say again that the GRC system suck balls. 


Anyway, I just came back from a little event which was organize by an energetic blogger - Mint. I met her recently at another event and we hit it off really well I must say.  I am not going to blog about this event (yet) but I am actually in the mood to talk about something I brought back with me after this light hearted and entertaining trip. I am actually pretty tired and shag out but I just wish to get this out of my head. ( like any of my other blogpost, to get concept out of my head)

We all know the saying which goes " curiosity killed the cat" but I am sure that most people look at this from a perspective that the cat got itself killed because of it's own curiosity but I look at it another way. The cat got killed simply because of another person's curiosity.

Lost yet? Do not be. I am saying that humans as the domination species on earth might have "beautified" the place or even make the place a little better with it's technology and intelligence (mainly for the humans) but in order to "study" and satisfied one's curiosity, theres always a price to pay. And apparently the one paying it is mother nature and the other species.

This enjoyable and light hearted trip sent me a big and heavy message. Humans are dominating and simply bullying nature in any possible ways. I have observed so much just in a short little trip. Crocodiles being caught up in cages as tourist attraction and we(humans) gets to decide who lives and who to be sold off as leather goods or food. Even those lying "peacefully" in the "pond" are being awaken up tourist with rods just to take "spectacular" looking pictures when they splash water and open their jaw wide.  Sparrow sleeping peacefully under a bridge being awaken up our super strong headlight just because we are curious to know how the nest looks like. Fire Flies being caught to examine how they actually look and even nature habitat being disturbed by loud talking and strong torch lights and camera flash.

What/who gave us the right to be disturbing the nature? Just simply because we are the dominating species? How does it feel if a giant fire fly decide to knock on my door while I am sleeping at night with a big torch light and maybe a few other homies to wake me up from my sleep?  I don't think I like it and I am sure neither do you.

No, I am not even arguing and say that I will go vegan after this trip just because I am starting to "feel for nature". We destroy nature habitat to build our horses or other important buildings, eat poultry for survival, that I can accept cause it's for survival but what about disturbing the nature and "bullying" other species just for "fun", satisfying our "curiosity" or even just to take some picture as memories ? I am no saint and I do not do the right things all the time and in fact I have made too many mistakes.(And every mistake is a lesson learnt - no regrets.) Although I might not be the biggest fan of mother nature but these messages sure hit me hard and hit me fast during the trip. Why are we humans so self centered and it's always about what we want and what we wish to do and never about others ?

I lost it... I must apologize for what I did which was totally uncalled for. I am sorry that's for sure.

I think this applies to not just us and mother nature but us and us. This world would be so much better if every other individual spare a thought for everyone else.

Anyway, for those who are very into FireFly.

Mr.Smith, humans...
