Critical Thinking-79

Think about a peasant! A peasant feels happy with whatever he harvests from his hard effort that he puts in his cornfield! Unless there is natural calamities like draught, flood or cyclone, his corn field grows in quantum jump. Who does he always pray? He often prays to lord Indra, the rain God! And of course, he prays God for good luck! He gets extremely delighted when his lush green cornfield tells him the tale of ecstasy of natural growth as it obtains regular watering, natural sunlight and free air without obsession of getting pesticides, fertilizers and costly chemicals. What happens if his effort is washed away with an unexpected flood, draught or cyclone? Does he give away his occupation? Does he stop farming in the next year? He unconditionally loves his occupation and his cornfield. The cornfield loves the caring hand of the peasant. What is the return of a simple peasant on his investment of hard labor on the field? Nothing else, his return of investment is his contentment, sheer joys and jubilations! Copyright@ Dillip K Swain
