10 aristotle Eulogy

For those of you who don't know me, I am Janiza, also a citizen of Mother
Earth.

Before I came to exist, Mother Nature took care of my descendants' needs.

This I know because in every family reunion, we talk about her. Even in her
demise, we still talk about her.

Life on earth had been wonderful with what Mother Nature had given us.
Instead of us nurturing her, she gave us life. She made sure that when I open
my eyes every morning, I can see her beauty even in gloomy weather.

As a child, I climbed the tree she allowed to grow in our backyard. The animals
had their habitat. Growing up, she directed the path for my father and I to
the mountains. We climbed together. My father had a great time with his
daughter showing her the abundant forests, and from the peak of the
mountain, her beauty beyond words. She gave joy to my mother every time
the flower bloom, be it summer or autumn.
Our Creator is not only good and faithful. He is wise to create Mother Nature
first before man. But what did man do? We think that it is the Nature's
responsibility to take care of us until our death. We abuse her. She
was silent. But not for long, for she could not allow us to destroy her for the
sake of our grandchildren, and their grandchildren. She fought back with flash
floods, landslides, forest fires, the climate change. But these she did to open
our eyes and to protect the future generation.

She was the most amazing creation next to man. But without her, our
existence is no more.

If the Creator will give us another Mother Nature, it will be our turn to guard
and protect her.

Mother Nature, thank you for nurturing us. With your death, soon ours will
follow. Goodbye.
