Courtesy the Thor sequel, many would be now familiar with Ragnarok. For the uninitiated, it refers to the final battle among the supreme forces resulting in the destruction of the world as per Norse Mythology. Perhaps making way for resurrection. Perhaps, a new beginning. Perhaps.
Taking clue from several man-made disasters and especially the smog layered capitol right now, I ponder if we are moving towards that direction. We have become so thick-skinned that these little natural skirmishes aren't enough to remind us how human advancement is coming at the cost of nature. What would it take to stop this unbridled demolition of mother Earth? What would it take to restore the quintessential ecological balance?
Ragnarok?
I hope not.
I hope not.
