The Storm of "Oops, We Did It Again!"

Once upon a time, in two neighbouring villages.......

1)  Eco-Town and  

2) Techville

Eco-Town was a place where people lived as if they had just stepped out of a Pinterest-inspired natural place. 

They recycled everything—seriously,

 even their thoughts. They lived in homes made of biodegradable, ethically sourced, and gluten-free FOOD & WOOD.

 Their motto? 

“Respect nature and it will respect us!”

On the other side of the mountain, Techville had a different approach. The villagers there treated nature like the ultimate sidekick. They didn't trust it to get the job done, so they invented everything to do it instead. 

Smart trees? Check.

 Robots that could plant flowers for you? Check. 

A self-aware fridge that emailed you when you forgot your groceries? Oh, absolutely. 

They believed that they were saving the Earth, one app at a time.

Enter the Great Storm

One day, Nature, clearly tired of being treated like an app, decided to send a storm—the storm. And when I say storm, I mean a storm so dramatic that even Great Saints would shout, 

“That’s a bit too much, don’t you think?”

In Eco-Town, the storm wasn't too bad. The trees, though annoyingly hipster, stood tall and unbothered, providing shelter. The village was mostly safe, except for a few solar panels that got a little too enthusiastic about catching the storm's vibe. But the villagers shrugged, laughed, and started singing together " chicha hyderabadi song " while waiting for their Wi-Fi to reconnect.

Meanwhile, over in Techville? Oh boy. 

The storm hit like a pop-up ad that you just couldn’t click away from or get rid of. Their smart houses tried to protect them, but the smart houses were smart enough to know they weren’t built to handle a real storms. The robots that were supposed to plant flowers? They got stuck in the mud and started arguing about whether roses or tulips were the real surviving flowers of the future.

The Big Realization

After the storm passed, the villagers of Eco-Town got together to plant more trees and enjoy a cup of HOT coffee made from beans that were ethically sourced by hand (because nothing says "sustainable" like doing it manually). They looked over at Techville, which now looked like a post-GREAT disaster version of a tech store.

Techville’s king, holding a broken tablet that had clearly been through a lot, walked over to Eco-Town. He sighed. 

“We thought the storm was nature’s fault... like some sort of divine retribution. We were wrong. It wasn’t the storm—it was us.”

One of Eco-Town’s villagers, hugging a tree like it was her long-lost best friend, smiled. 

" You know, we’ve been saying this for years! That storm wasn’t nature’s fault—it was our fault. We made bad choices & didn’t pay attention. It’s like buying a fancy sandwich and then throwing away the tasty part. That doesn’t make sense, right? "

The Moral

Both villages realised the truth. It wasn’t the storm that caused the problems

—it was their choices

Whether it was Eco-Town trying to solve everything with organic Wi-Fi or Techville believing they could tech their way out of a hurricane, the issue was clear: 

The world’s most urgent problems are not caused by nature or divine will, but by human actions.

We can’t blame the storm, the weather, or anything else. 

It’s up to us to stop being part of the problem and start being part of the solution.

The Takeaway

So, next time you point fingers at the Earth for the mess we’ve made, just remember: 

Nature’s not out there causing drama. 

We are. If we want a better world, we need to make better choices. 

No apps, no drones, no tech upgrades—just plain responsibility. 

The Earth doesn’t need us to “save” it. It needs us to stop messing it up.


Moral 

The world's biggest problems

— climate change, 

— pollution, 

— inequality

are not caused by nature or divine will. 

They are human-made, and only humans can fix them.

 So stop blaming the storm and start making better choices. 🌍

" LOST IS A GOOD PLACE TO START "
