Who Owns The Earth?

The existence of the nature and earth is primeval to any creature on the earth. Human is considered the most intelligent creature on the earth, as human can think and imagine for the future. Gradually, the population of the world has reached around 7000 million. People fight for the piece of the land on the earth. They show their proprietary over that. Animals fight for their territory in the forest. In jungle kingdom, there is "might is right" concept, the weaker has to leave or sacrifice. In human kingdom, all should get their share whether he is weak or strong. On increasing of the population, the human even cut the jungle, the home of animals, and fenced it and hence has created the concept of the property. But who really owns the earth? How someone can say that I own this piece of land. It was there even humans breathed their first on the earth. Human did not create the earth and nature, rather the earth and nature provided the life for the human. How one among multiple children of the same mother can claim the more or entire proprietary over the mother? The mother is equal for all of her children. She would feed and love equally to all. How one can claim the propriety over the mother? In the same fashion, how the proprietary came over the properly, the piece of the land? In sooth, the nature is the real owner of the earth. All the arrangement on the earth is to support the nature and all the living creatures. The nature cannot be injustice or show favorism to anyone. If anyone tries to domesticate the earth, the nature takes the revenge. We can see in the history of the world, mostly, the war has been waged for the piece of the land and on the name of religion. And both are the social concept, there is no any relation with the neturality or divinity. The Mahabharata was also fought over the piece of the land.

The animal fight for their territory till they are strong enough to fight and protect their territory, there is no other law existing in jungle expect “Might is Right”. Defeated one goes away from there and find some other place. They do not fight more than they need. They do not kill other animals if they are well fed. They never fought for the future accumulation. They never fear for the future. They do not bequeath territory to their offspring. Their kids need to fight again to secure their own territory and food. But in the human kingdom, we have the law on land. We can bequeath our property to our offspring. We are social animals. But our conditions are worse than animals. We fight even our all the needs are completely fulfilled. We imagine about future and fight for more security, which leads to another fear. We accumulate more along with more insecurity. We proudly say that I own this much of property etc. We forget what the piece of land we own (as per law) today, was owned by someone else yesterday, and it would be owned by someone else tomorrow. The earth is primeval; we are temporal come and go. 

The time and space is pre-destined for all the creatures including human beings. If it is not like that then why most of the people take birth at one place and spend their rest of the life at another place. Even though they want to stay at some particular place, they cannot, due to some inevitable situation. The people put lust to create more and more, but its use and enjoy for an individual is pre-destined and limited. For and illustration, someone earned heaps of money in his life,  if he is suffering from some ailment, which do not allow to eat food of his own wish etc. then what is the use of that? In fact, no one owns the earth; all these wares are to create an illusion to test the intense of spirituality in human being. The space and time, where the human currently living has already been pre-destined, it does not matter who owns this property on the piece of the paper. The nature does not understand our social arrangement. The nature does not create more than its capacity to food and shelter. The nature knows how to balance it, if something goes against her. It is human`s lust only who has created the haphazard and compelled himself to suffer by not complying with the law of nature.
