MAN, MONKEY AND CIVILIZATION

Now, there is summer. So, naturally, there is shortage of water. Municipal corporation is supplying water after two day’s gap. So,at the time of water supply, there is rush on public tap. Many times there are quarrels, which sometimes turn into fighting. In summer, in every city, town and village, this picture is common. But whenever I see such quarrel, I remember a real incident. In a summer, we all family members were out of station. So there was lock to our house. On our terrace, there was a lotus plant in a big  pot. In that pot, there was much water. On that day, a group of six monkeys came on our terrace by jumping from one terrace to another. They were thirsty. They saw the water in that lotus pot. They drank that water. But to drink that water , they made pairs and at a time only two monkeys drank water and others waited silently for their turn. And they all drank the water in a way that not a single monkey even touched or harmed the lotus plant.  Though we weren't at home to see this incident, my neighbouring friend shooted whole scene and sent me it. So I have a doubt in my mind that who is civilized-- man or monkey?

                 In Seria, in last week, there were chemical bomb-blasts. Many residents died and remaining - specially small children suffered much from it. Only to get power, mankind is becoming so cruel that they have no value of other mankind's lives. While in the forest, as the monkeys can climb on tree, they can see first that any tiger or lion is coming in their area. And they start gibbering loudly to aware all animals. In Fact the monkeys on the tree are safe. Yet, they try to save other animals also. So who can be said civilized?

        Some days ago, a video became viral. In that video, a man is beating a monkey with stick till that monkey’s death. And another person, without saving that monkey, shooted the whole scene and sent it to others. Is this our civilization?
