LITTER HAS NO GLITTER!

"All is Gold that glitters" is a common adage we are conversant since time immemorial. Equally ,on contrary we cannot ignore the quote of famous Leacock's interpretation that "All is Gold which glitters". Gold is the only metal which all human crave since centuries long. Presently currencies across the world are being determined in terms of the Gold reserve the concern country possess in its repository. Even when we tend to appreciate ones prodigy, we address him or her as "Gold".

Only in the early nineteenth century we are conversant with the rhyme, "Twinkle twinkle little star, How I wonder what you are, Up above the world so high, like a Diamond in the sky"! Thus our mind engulfed with our intense admiration for Diamond! A sea change in our vision and admiration! Eventually we started to praise one for his or her unique quality comparing to Diamond. But surprisingly Diamond still cannot surpass the fancy we express for Gold.

Sun is the only star in the solar system we are dwelling. We are existing in a satellite called "Earth" and largely influenced by Sun, which is the only source of energy for us to survive and sustain. Even when we are marooned by an individual or a collective contribution for facilitating us to energize and being even entertained, we tend to rate him or her as "Star"! It bears the testimony of ones prodigy is an axiom and we offer our utmost appreciations by addressing him or her as 'star'. Sometimes when we are absolutely overwhelmed by ones quality, we may offer him or her with 'five star' to acknowledge their prodigies, despite knowing that "Star" is not accessible to us. Even when we feel sad for the bereavement of our closest we find solace that the concern person might have his or her entity in the sky as star. We tend to look up at the sky to soothe our soul. "Stars" do play a significant role to human spectrum and the only determining constituent for the Earth's pole in absence of Sun in the dark deep night. But its influence can make a human so arrogant that he may consider himself as the 'pole star' and eventually pave the way for his ruin! Hardly we human ponder how 'star' emerge with what constituents and what is its fate. What constituents it possess and how it enable our configuration too! "Star" infatuates us still now and moment we are impressed with someone's ability beyond average, we tend to address him or her as "Star" till date! This is how we may alienate one from the mass, but can we ignore how Gold continuously eclipsing us with its enigmatic appeal?

I believe that "Gold" requires highest amount of labor to extract from mines and even not available abundantly. It is a non native element, like Iron, silver, copper, but its availability is meagre. Accordingly it is the only metal being treated as the determiner for the currencies across the world. Even centuries long in Indian mythology we noticed that female are having alacrity for Gold. Their fancy for Gold is existing centuries long across the world! Now, in present world there is a craving for Diamond, perhaps for a new currencies being introduced virtually, as Bitcoin and other virtual currencies. I wonder, are they true contender of "Gold"? There is still now no match out of its conductivity and thus considered as the most precious metal. When women became pregnant in the early stage of human civilization and cannot accompany with their male counterpart to gather food, precisely when they were wanderers, not settlers, they first noticed how seedling took place and eventually unearthed the process of cultivation to enable human to become settler. They perhaps having an inherent capacity to envisage the potentiality of an element on nature's floor. Still majority women are not subscribing their fancy with diamond. They are the true precursor of human civilization to accelerate with a due momentum. They only have the capacity to give birth of a baby, as well play the crucial role to invigorate a nation to strive and thrive.

We poor native souls on Earth are continuously striving to garner wealth and our hankering after wealth making us self centered and not even bothering that after our demise we will not able to take any wealth we amassed. We will too just become a "Star"! We will be treated as mere 'Body' moment we die. I just wonder why we cry for mundane wealth and ignore people and look down to them who lack wealth. How we enjoy to be alienated from the mass? Will our status of "Star" give any added advantage to our extension of survival on nature's floor?

When we garland a dead body we offer our tribute to the dead and the writhe contains numerous flowers which convey the very essence that united we stands and divided we fall. Our grace lies with our association, not isolation. Because it is the majority who will uphold our stature when we longer alive on Earth. So when we look up at the dark deep sky in naked eye, we observe innumerable stars who resemble the majority among whom we are living. Alas! how ignorant we are that when we are living, we hardly bother our physical state and focused on celestial objects which are beyond our capacity to fathom and communicate!

Gold, Silver, Copper and Iron are truly precious to augment the pace of civilization. But some other elements too exist to obliterate our existence from the nature's floor out of our own innovation and induce us to make incendiary to obliterate many as few crave only to survive by depriving the majority and enjoy the lucidity of lives. Poor creature, hardly they could comprehend that their existence depends on the conditions of majority's appreciation and accolades. If there is no myriad colors to bloom, who will enjoy the beauty of appreciation for few and allow them to gloom? They will neve be treated as neither Gold, Diamond or other precious metals. Poor few even having no capacity to script their obituary! They will too just obliterate in accordance to time as space, just like the primates having no trace!

I am nowadays observing number of Management Gurus and they give lectures to cause only ruckus with an aim to confuse majority and ensure profits for minority. They too belong to minority and are not aware about what is the future in their store. Wealth may bring ephemeral pleasure and satisfaction, but in the long run they too have their place in the museum of history for their unrestrained greed and foolery! Despite they too possess all metals and minerals in their body, but after their demise we cannot get those elements in metallic order at least to serve humanity! Whether they are being termed as "Gold", "Star", 'Diamond", but we cannot extract those element in metallic form from their dead bodies! They too perhaps resort to sky, high and high, having no effect to mundane world where we just sustain to sigh!
