NOT JUST A BLUE SKY

Just a bright blue spot in a dark space, is what I thought planet Earth was in this vast expanse of what is called, the ‘Universe’. Now, it isn’t anymore in the eyes of a child who saw a live video of Earth from Space by NASA. And I was blown away, not by the calmness of the background score, not by how huge it is, but by the sight of a blue sphere smeared with white clouds, where almost eight billion hearts beat.

Longer I stare, longer I feel calm. A bundle of clouds floating away slowly resembles a flock of sheep chasing each other on a place filled with snow. By each passing second, by each passing dimension, is a new view which one can never forget. Of all the planets in this galaxy, of all the asteroids, meteors and whatever maybe out there, ours is the only world where there are people, filled with thoughts and emotions. A view from the space reminds those out there, if any, that this world is a peaceful place. This world is a place where the leaves rustle without any fear, where every human being love one another, where every organism ever found by the mankind is having a good warm day. But in truth, amidst all the calmness and kindness is a world of rage and hatred. And what do we fight for? To exist as the only human beings in the only planet where life sustains in this galaxy? Is anybody out there who would like to come and help us and make us believe that it is a beautiful world? As we shut our eyes, we see darkness but we believe it is the light that holds us together. Only when we open our eyes will we ever realise there is nothing to fight for, but only to love each other, being kind to one another.

Eight billion hearts beat every second in this world, few with fear and few with happiness. In a world where everything is meant to be brighter, why welcome the fear when we can wipe it away with a brave smile on the face? Breathe everyone, and fight all the negative instincts.
