mother nature.
Has anyone ever wondered why the Earth and the Sky are known as Mother Earth or Father Sky respectively? Actually I've never wondered about such things, until I had a terrible headache just now.
I realised that the Earth and the Sky has a lot in common with us human beings.
The trees are like hair. Cutting off some hair from time to time wont kill. But most people would get angry if I tried to cut off a whole chuck of their hair.
Both the Earth and us contain large percentages of water. Water is so important to us. If the water in our bodies is lacking, or contaminated by weird bacteria or OIL, we would surely get weird diseases, or at least feel weird.
The man-made structures are like accesories we wear on our bodies. It decorates the body and makes it look good. However, one would look quite retarded if the whole body were to be filled with accesories, right? Some may disagree, but whatever.
Geysers are like noses. They allow breathing to take place and occasionally, we blow our noses. And we all fall sick and have running noses.
Volcanoes are like assholes. They stink and you really don't want to be near them when they erupt.
Lastly, from time to time, we all think of seeing the human body in its true, natural, undecorated form. Likewise for the Earth.
Now for Father Sky.
Just as one can usually tell others' moods by looking at their faces, you can tell the weather by looking at the sky.
Just like how we cry when our emotions are pented up, the sky releases its tears when it can't take it anymore.
And, just like how some of us exprience mood swings, the sky can blow hot and cold, the weather changing without notice.
Lastly, just like how things turn very ugly when we throw our tempers, things can turn very ugly should the sky decide to throw his or hers, and unleashes its most furious weather conditions upon us.
Well, these're simply some thoughts of mine and I've realised how we should treat the Earth as our friend and protect it as we would our best buddy.
There would be nothing to frighten you if you refused to be afraid.
