The Animal Kingdom And The Modern Man by Shegman22(m): 9:12am On Oct 24, 2014 |
A lot have been said about the animal kingdom and how thwarted world we now live in is tending toward an animal kingdom. I thought that the last chapter will be the last but I realise that there are more similarities between the two worlds. Briefly we will examine some animalistic behaviour that we now exhibit in our world today. Please, relax and read through: # MIGRATION One of the characteristic of the animal kingdom especially the ruminant animals migration. They move from one geographical locations to another in search of greener pastures. They travel great kilometres in search of food, especially during drought period animals such as wildebeest, Zebra, buffalos e.t.c move in search of food and water while others such as the salmon migrate to procreate, this is yearly and it happen at specific time in the year. The carnivorous animals such as the Lion, cheetah, leopard, crocodile e.t.c who had claim territory for themselves usually wait in ambush for them as they see food approaching without having to go long miles in search. In true sense if this animals decide not to migrate they will probably all died of starvation, they migrate because they need to and not because they wanted to. The human world is not quite different form that as well, men migrate from one place to the other it might be intrastate or interstate or out the country as a whole, but why do they do that? It is because it is needed or because they felt it is needed, or they just wanted it. Many migrate because of their basic wants and not needs, they migrate solely because of the cares of live and not because they needed to do the will of God, some don't even think about the dangers ahead or the difficulties in their new location. My cousin went to India and where he was, he was approached by an india lady, who asked him to help her secure a Visa to Nigeria, that she is suffering in India, he looked at her that if Nigeria where to be better than India he won't have sought for medical attention in India and that Nigeria is facing almost the same challenge, she won't believe Him but that's the truth. The truth is we will have reasons to migrate form one place to the other but the question is why? It is to satisfy ourselves or to please God? Are we going because we thought it is needed or because God needs us there? Think about it, there is a way that seems good to man but its end leads to destruction. # INSTINCT NOT WISDOM Animals can be very very intelligence, they can be able to learn as human does, imitate man in actions, all this sum together they are still not wise. Animals are yet to differentiate good from bad, right from wrong, they only do what they want to do per time or if they are trained they do what they are told. Despite all the training, animals have still proven that they aren't wise as some still attacks their trainers sometimes kills them. When an animal is hungry he doesn't think twice he goes in search of food and when he sees the food they eat, they are moved by instinct and not wisdom. Men also are more like animals in our modern day, they do not think of the result or the consequences of their actions, once its satisfies their present want or urge. They live for the now, survival that is animalistic not humane. Think about it, are you led by instinct or by wisdom. Jesus is the Wisdom of God. # CAMOUFLAGE Animals are master of disguise and they do that to prey and avoid been preyed on. Animals both on land, air or in the waters are good in camouflage. Their is a fish that disguise as a female and fools the male fish and fertilized the eggs (the male actually guards the eggs from intruding). The chameleon which is know to be the master of disguise does so to prey and to avoid been the prey. It has been noticed that albino cats such as Lions, Tigers etc don't survive in the wild because they are easily spotted by their prey, disguise is a natural way by which they live and destroy each other. Animals needs it to survive but men wants it to destroy each other. Men are the best in camouflage, they pretend to be what they are not for many reasons and deceive each other to get what they want. The world is filled with a lot of disappointed individuals because they have trusted men and women who have disguised as saint but actually are demons. We need to be careful, a heart that is not with Jesus is wicked heart and a master Odun disguise. Note not a heart that goes to Church or bears a christian name or a worker but a heart that is dead to self and his carrying His cross daily when following christ. Are you an animal or human being. |
