Mother Nature is the Great
Maestro
By Gus Papaloukas
Quite often
I read all kinds of theories of great minds and scientists of the world
regarding the beginning of, and the creation of the universe. I must admit
that I find it difficult to decide which theory is correct, due to the
fact that most of the time they contradict one another. I lean towards
Socrates, the great philosopher and pre-apostle of Christianity, who,
driven to trial for suggesting that the Olympian pantheon might not really
have existed, may have divined the inherent problems of creation better
than most. Sentenced to death for blasphemy and corruption of youth, in
his last hour, he turned to his accusers and said, “I am going to die
and you will live, but I tell you, there is only one God we have to
worship, the invisible Supreme Being who will remain a mystery forever.”
This Being,
“Nature’s Maestro”, created the universe and our planet and is
responsible for all the myriad wonders of human life, flora and fauna. The
diversity of races, languages and physiognomies native to our planet is
indeed a symphony of glorious proportions. Yet, nature appears to change
course, reacting angrily instead of charitably, towards its own creation.
Catastrophic tsunamis, earthquakes, avalanches, volcanoes and landslides
may lead one to believe that we may have been abandoned by our
“Creator”. Have we disappointed with our often irresponsible and
destructive behavior, and in doing so, turned our backs on this “Sacred
Maestro”? Probably this is the reason that we, as humans have
disappointed “Mother Nature” and therefore we should accept her
decision to destroy us.
