Don't fall off the cliff!!


I happened to see this while travelling in a local bus. Translated to English, the poster reads - "The World's Christ on the edge of a danger".

Perhaps, the Christian group which pasted it there opines that the Humanity is at the edge of a disaster. Perhaps it wants to share some wisdom which might rescue humanity from it. To me it sounds like the disaster of self-destruction. Man is very good at it. Destruction - why does that happen from time to time? Is it because it is inevitable, that it ought to happen periodically? Is it because one entity benefits from the destruction of another entity? Is it because re-creation happens only through destruction and again is it because some or the other entity (sometimes that very entity that is being destroyed) benefits from such a re-creation? While all these might be true, none of them is a cause for destruction. Self-Destruction, I mean! Destruction happens only because the growth always leads to some amount of an anti-self within the entity. It cuts across the integrity or identity of that entity, at some point. (Infact I can't think of an appropriate word in English, in Telugu 'uniki' fits it perfectly well!) If the entity has to progress further, that anti-self has to be destroyed to safeguard that integrity so as to allow the self to continue...

Well, all this is the same stuff I have been writing for years, for reasons whatever. I don't even know why I'm writing it now again for the nth time in a different form. So, I leave it here without concluding anything from it.
