1. THE CONVICTS
(essay by Lorena Lăzărescu, the 11th class, "Constantin Noica" Theoretical High
School Sibiu, Romania, coordinated by her teacher Petrina Dobrotă)
There are hundreds of reasons why we are condemned to slow destruction. A
well-grounded motive is we, beings in a glass globe that we are holding dead not to
break it. Of course, the absence of our etheric voices would be strange, but that's
why, perhaps the prison in which Mother Nature was thrown apart would collapse.
From this pollution routine we created a vice. We are born and we destroy by
instinct. We are like robots, and even if we do not want to, we continue to hurt the
place we call home.
A bulb can not light the whole world, and a lantern can not light the whole
night. We are greedy and even for one day we could not forget the concept of the
better. It would be better not to have this concept, and we would survive with what
nature gave us without causing damage.
At least for one day we could stop the light from all over the world. We could
warm up with the slow dance of a flame, let the water flow only into a spring, and
write on the remains of a stones, watching the trees how they shadow our vicious
bodies.
We know that this ritual of absolute loss caught our thinking, but if we
formed a loophole of time in which to strive not to attack this source of life, we
would be one step away from death.
Let the light of the sun comfort your body, the darkness of the night to rest
you, the water, the air and the fire to awaken you. We violate the law of nature as
often as possible, and the four elements, that the Creator has shaped, are turning
against us.
We are destined for destruction, and any rescue is just an ephemeral thought.
