The Duck That Lay Golden Eggs ( On Earthquakes/Tsunamis)

Once a greedy person owned a duck that used to lay a golden egg everyday. One day he ripped open the stomach of the duck thinking that he would get many golden eggs at a time.

Today man also is indulging in such foolish and greedy acts. Instead of being satisfied with what nature is giving him , he is aspiring for more and more , and in the process , he is creating imbalance in Nature.

Natural calamities are taking place in the world today . You are aware of the devastations caused by earthquakes and Tsunamis in Japan , China, New Zealand .Thousands of people lost their lives and properties . The reason for this is that Man is entertaining excessive desires . God maintains perfect balance in His creation . In God’s creation , the earth and the oceans are endowed with balance . But man is indiscriminately exploiting the earth for mining , extracting oil , and nuclear tests ! Everyday thousands of tons of fish are caught from the oceans. This indiscriminate exploitation of nature results in the imbalance of the earth , which is playing havoc with human lives. Due to excessive greed for wealth , man is disturbing the balance of the earth. Hence , the earthquakes !

Today , scientists are interested in new inventions . Rapid advancements in science and technology have led to imbalance of Nature . As a result , there are earthquakes , tsunamis and no timely rains . Science should be utelised only to the extent needed . Science has its limitations and crossing those limits leads to danger .

Several nations have expressed their love and concern for the earthquake victims . Neighboring countries sent loads of goods , grams , reliefs , etc.. Let us express our love thru prayers and helping the needy . Love is our nature , just as balance is very much essential to nature , so also love is very much needed for man . Make proper use of the natural resources and do not put them to misuse . We should enjoy nature according to our need . Do not rob nature of its resources to satisfy your greed . Let Nature’s stomach be not ripped open just to get the golden eggs !
