I Watched in Helplessness: November 2nd, 2005
11/01/2005 10:42 p.m.

I watched five elephants being ambushed, killed and eaten by almost two dozen lions in as many days, on the television screen. I normally keep my mind shut while watching TV, which I do seldom but for occasional news and stock market, on regular basis. But watching this kid elephant being killed caused so much pressure on my emotional energy accumulators that it flung opened when the hungry lions separated him from the group, attacked ferociously from all sides and eventually started eating him as he was still fighting a lost battle for his life.

The elephant kid was helpless and so were lions. I cursed the nature for creating a world where every one feeds on every one. But then I was imposing my so called concepts on nature based on my own sensibilities. Lions were responding to Nature and so was the elephant kid, both helpless and so looked Nature to me. I watched it helplessly, up to the end.
