The moral responsiblity over the environment

This entry it's part of the Humanity series. Part [part not set] of 40

You have becomed accustomed to your way of life within an environment contaminated in all order of things. You have forgotten to take care and appreciate the elements of life you so sorely need in order to live healthy of body and spirit.

You are so familiarized with this evil that you no longer stop to think about the causes from whence it originates, and the reason is that harmony between man and Creation has been broken.

This world, created with so much love, has been converted into a neglected, forgotten and mistreated valley. Have you not understood what it means to live right and what you need for clean living? Behold this marvelous garden with its sunshine, warmth, life, wind, water, soil, fruits, flowers, countrysides, mountains, stars, lakes, oceans, animals, minerals, vegetables and organisms. All is at your service. Do not forget that!

If men were able to feel and understand all the love wich nature pours out upon them, all would be better persons, but some are ignorant and others ungrateful.

You should appreciate and take care of the pure air you breathe. Preserve the fields with the fruits and flowers. Remember that the earth is like a mother from whose bossom you are nourished and she embraces you when you are born, and she also opens her bossom to receive you when you die.

You have in nature the water you drink, which is similar to the truth, because it is crystal clear, transparent and pure. Through her action, the fields are fertile and the seeds germinate, which is the true fountain of life and health.

Behold in Creation that beautiful and marvelous work. Like the flowers which adorn your view, which perfume the air and inspire you. Have you noticed the harmony in which creation lives? Does it not seem to you that everything obeys a single law? Behold the sun, similar to a father who opens its arms to take in all creatures with an embrace of life and love, of light and energy. Behold how, at the touch of its warmth, the flowers bloom, the birds trill, and all beings labor.

In everything created there is life, and sensitivity exists. Even the very stones are sensitive and you, who are part of life itself, would you not wish, even for a few moments, to reflect upon Creation and be thankful for its generosity, taking care of your world in all order of things?

However, everything has been profaned by man. The waters are contaminated, the air is polluted; therefore, do not be surprised if nature gives you signs of her displeasure. The earth will tremble; the sun will cause candescent rays to fall upon this world, burning its surface. The continents will be touched from one pole to the other; the earth will deny its fruits, and the rivers will dry up. Fire will erupt from the surface of the earth; the winds will be unleashed, and the waters will level regions and nations. Before all this, I ask you: Will it be necessary for suffering to follow you, in order for you to stop and reason? Why do you not decide to live in harmony with all of creation? Obsesve the universe that surrounds you, and admire the obedience and precision with which all kingdoms comply with their destiny! Meditate on the animal kingdom. Behold the bee, the ant, the worm, and understand the joy that exists within the birds’ nests. Learn harmony from them.

If you do it thus, you will again see a clear sky; the fields fertile; the waters in the current will again be pure, and the sea will be more lenient. There will be fruits in the trees, flowers in the meadows, and the harvest abundant. The sun will be the same one that will pour its life-giving warmth; the rivers will be cleansed; the sterile fields will again be fertile; the elements will resume their course because there will be harmony between man and the laws dictated by the Author of life
