I have been here since the mere beginning. Millions of years ago when the quiet ruler darkness was vanished by a bright explosion of light, I was born.
As soon as I woke up, I saw an entire world totally empty and I could only feel myself. Silence surrounded me while I wondered if I was going to last alone for eternity. I also thought that neither a purpose nor a meaning was given to my existence.
Time passed and solitude was still by my side until something happened. All of a sudden, something popped up in the water and later reached the land. At that moment, it was the very first time I felt the sensation of companion. It was special. Sooner, I realized it was life itself. A creature that started to wander on the earth. It was one, but then there were more and more of them. Finally, my world was covered with green and moving vitality and I was not alone anymore. It took me time to discover the reason for my existence. “I shall take care and give a home to these creatures because I concluded they were created by the light just as I was.”
Years went on and beings of every shape and every form were under my wings. Eventually, they started to evolve in order to survive the place they stepped. Some of them changed a bit and some did completely but some special ones went beyond my expectations. They left the four-legged walking and stood up in two. Their story began right there and so did my misery. A misfortune that has not finished up until now.
I have seen their process of evolution. From primitive tools and speaking to modern technology and a wide range of languages. They built up cultures, traditions, knowledge, relationships, and societies. They rose houses, farms, villas, castles, walls, towers, cities, and countries. They used my land to set themselves, to plant, to cultivate, and to take resources. I allowed it because I saw their pure intentions to expand their species and to live their lives.
As they grew better, they began to be corrupted by other kinds of feelings and actions. They became ambitious, mad, selfish, and evil. They kidnapped, killed, stole and abused. They have not done all of that to themselves but also to nature, the place where they are living. Nothing has ended so far and I am becoming weaker and weaker. I send signs of suffering every other time but they do not seem to care. I am afraid that they are driving themselves to their own end.
I was wrong in thinking that darkness was gone forever. It still exists and I found it in every living individual.
“They are darkness, they are light. They are alive”
