The imaginary boundary

The line that distinguishes from the rest of the people is the boundary we built. We have our own land demarcated and mapped in a document with official endorsement fulfilling a legal purpose. It has served, for so long, to conveniently distinguish the geographical area into regions and personal assets. The land is inevitable part of living and sustaining life. Farming to building houses to creating ambience that allures oneself to the joy and contentment for paying a visit.

In today’s reality, we observe the continuous change in everything that escalates living into complexities beyond simple comprehension. We belong to the East, the West, South, and the North. We are divided into regions, states, countries, continents, and as a planet. But are we the separate living being? Do we need to consider inter-dependence?

Our land has imaginary boundary that belongs to him and her-the owner. We name the Rivers, Streams, and Waterfalls. Nonetheless, the Rivers at its source is never being named but when it actually comes through our land, we name it X, Y, and Z. When it finally forms an Ocean, it becomes the Pacific, the Atlantic, and the Indian Ocean. We name the nature and partake in the equal share. We pollute them and harm them in unequal shares ultimately to bear the effects in a same weight.

You may, at now, throw a plastic and your neighbor may pick it up. Later, when it compiles and gets piled up, they may burn it in their own territory. However, it pollutes the air that we equally partake in. So, are we doing justice to our own action? Should we be held responsible for the equal share of duties in this regard? Do we need to advocate, remind, and be responsible at all times? You know, the small effect in the atmosphere caused by you shall be borne equally by all the people, animal, and plants.

The world inter-dependence should be remembered through all the times in every action. We may be financially self-reliant but we are not self-reliant in actual terms. We partake in the equal share of natural resources. Do you built your own house with money? Does woodworks, stones, glasses, and whatever materials used are replaced by money? We extract from the nature. We borrow a land from the nature. However, you name it my land and theirs.

Our geographical landscape is mountainous terrain. Imagine, if the particular area collapses and you have no idea which land belongs to you then. Be responsible and do not harm the environment. A small act of throwing a rubbish can cause great effects in the long run.

Responsibility starts with your thought. Be responsible now to save it for future.
