Gods view over materialism

It was long time since god had visited earth, he felt concerned about his creatures and decided to make a visit to earth .As he descended to earth he saw vast buildings, towers touching the sky and dams of marvelous construction, which was man’s creation but he dint smile and he moved on .On the way he came upon what is known as modern man. The modern man wore a proud look in his face and as he spoke to god, god did notice a definite note of pride in his eyes and tone as he spoke “sire, see how beautiful have I made the earth of thine”. God smiled but it wasn’t a smile of delight, he smiled at the innocence of modern man. Then man added, “Are you satisfied sire”. But God’s only answer was “It shall be seen soon”.

Then God went to the edge of the road where stood a small plant and asked “child, speak of your troubles”. The little plant replied, “Oh, father, man has taken to destroying Mother Nature, and everything you have given him. He has made my life miserable & because of him many of my kindered have perished, I request thy to punish him”. Hearing this man startled but before man could open his mouth God cut in “I’ve not yet made my decision son”. Then God commanded the wind & water to speak & then both wind &water together started “Lord, thy created us to serve creatures of thine but man has made us give misery & death to thy creatures hence he needs to be punished”. Man after hearing this didn’t speak any thing but still God meant to finish his ego by final blow & it didn’t wait long. Along the road came an old woman with a dead child in her hands. When God asked her reason for sorrow, she replied that her only grandson died by drinking the polluted river water near her house. Seeing this man’s head was bent with shame & his proud eyes was filled with remorse then God said “son, desire of mine was to have a garden of living creatures but thy has created a graveyard of great mounds, thy has caused great misery &destruction to creatures of mine thence make amends and this will be last chance of thine”. With these words, God vanished & the dead child sprang back to life but still.

Please be less dependent towards materialism, save environment, trees also have souls as we have, save earth “THIS IS OUR LAST CHANCE TO MAKE AMENDS………………………...
