Ecology and Humanism

It turns out that a parrot, whose name Lorita, did not take ecological center in San Carlos. It was part of a group of fellows who had seized, in good time, rangers of the League of Monteverde. They cared, and were prepared for release, a goal that was achieved. But Lorita came without his tail, which is the rudder of the birds, why was awkward to fly.

She saw her companions with discouragement, do all sorts of aerial acrobatics and fly increasingly longer distances from one tree to another and spinning above the forest canopy with great fanfare. His clumsiness costs allowed to fly a few feet and Apenitas hold of a branch. As a consolation was associated with Periquín, young budgie then abandoned, as they also took the path of heaven.

Left without company, began to pull up to our house, with many costs are passed from one bush to one of the kitchen windows, which is on the second floor. All this is to seek partnerships with other living beings, instinctive need in gregarious animals, as happens to man. The chinear started talking and offering homemade food to not feel alone, ate something and flew to a nearby tree. That was several months and there was concern that the character saw off, awkward to fly and with a very limited life.

Suddenly a metamorphosis began to move Lorita, rectrices he began to grow and its ability to maneuver in flight too, but most amazingly, his personality changed dramatically, showing more strength and fullness of his temper, dignity and joy. Of course, now comes the passive scrubbed the kitchen, now asks, demands, not as before with sad eyes and a plaintive cries choppy and expect to be fed.

In the morning, since you sleep hangover, comes to do morning exercise routines, flying between and above the trees, giving the forest several times. The problem is that it makes a surprising past the kitchen going at full speed (something like the Blue Angels ), entering through a window and out the other side and take off because he gets out. Of course, their shrill cries of joy leaves you half deaf. At the end, lands requiring a ration of food and properly falls to terminate a tortilla or cheese, then with a full crop stays a while disposing of what is Chunche.

How wonderful it is to see a being that evolved from the disability to utilize their training and develop psychosomatic autonomy. The evolution of Lorita was the work of his desires and need to fly, to be a parrot in its full expression. In life there are examples of natural impulses, misunderstood by us, to regain the physical and vital to fulfill the mission for which he was born, within each species. These impulses and anxieties for expressing individual potential are also in every human being, but you need to have a rudder (but not in the tail and less silicon) and a personal flight plan to achieve it.

The thrushes, which have always been present in this area since before the conquest, independence, the founding of the first and second republic, the issue of social guarantees, etc., have been on a mission, which has allowed these lands, to become what they are today and continue to give a tough fight for them to continue to save their identity within the context of life on the planet. This bird's mission is to distribute various types of plant seeds, to maintain the survival of different plant and animal species, so that the thin nature take gear moving eternal destinies.

But what sense does put care and try to understand what they are these feathered when it comes to caring for the cholesterol, the good and the bad, triglycerides, uric acid, high blood pressure, depression and stress, of course, that if you have not modern, allergy, asthma, lack of appetite in children, the bills payable, check your mailbox on the phone, video games. It is also important to develop, either consciously or unconsciously, control mechanisms, coodependencia, attachment and handling within the family circles, friends or work.

Nothing to spend time to think about these bichejos sometimes even up truck cuitean and should not be very important because they are not taken into account in the churches, in moles and in public and residential gardens where plants are grown that nothing in their favor. In ornamental plants, foreign and exotic are the dominant sales and seeded regardless that will increase environmental degradation by breaking the cycles of nature.

The immediacy, born of a disturbed and anxious instinctivity distractions and pleasures, took by assault the intelligence, which is at your service, disrupting the demands of conscience requires transcendence.

The important thing is that everything is made ​​or occurs in the world, should be directly useful in the short term for man and society that forms. The medium-and short-term not foresee and do not mind not taking into account the real benefit to the person, regarding it as a being like the thrush has a role to play in the concert life.

But if utilitarianism is, is the song of the thrushes especially if you listen relaxed as good or better than taking vitamins, melatonin, sleeping pills, antidepressants, relaxing, etc.. The song is energetic vibration of life, the surrounding environment and we are part of that environment. Her singing brings health and wellness. It is a way to re-contact with our ancestral home, is to accommodate some of the dynamics of nature and recognize the validity of its laws in our own humanity. It is away from illness. It is recognized that where our house was the territory that was stripped, that our table, bed and other items of wood were part of the tree from which to fulfill its magnificent singing task.

It is possible that when we hear the trill recontactemos with our conscience and want to nobility, kindness and justice to plant a tree, or put a feeder to enable further work entrusted by the Creator and is reborn in us the sense of mission for the life.

As disclosed to the world the great natural beauty and protection that is given to nature in Costa Rica, its own citizens human viciously lash out and abuse a helpless puma kicks and help carry it to death. Sana, who is undoubtedly the negative value that permeates every day and moves more to the Costa Rican society, where the mob has taken over life and destiny of the country. This, like other facts, are signs of degradation in the quality of life, when it should have been evolved in the opposite direction, towards excellence.

The Church, which has been the representative of God in the world, prefers not to notice that the mistreatment of animals and nature is an affront to God. If it were channeled in his preaching to his flock has assuming a fraternal commitment to creation. The abuse and death of the animal in question may not have been given and the attitude of man toward nature would not be so destructive because the principles of tenderness, solidarity and responsibility would be in effect.

On the other hand, the field of ethics and values ​​has been replaced by people crowded regulations deriving from the tangle of laws and decrees, often upstart. The reference is legal or illegal, with respect to the personal, or social nature, but not the dynamics of the values ​​emanating from a state of consciousness that is geared towards respect, beauty, harmony and the well where legal right and are implicit, but are overwhelmed by the personal desire to help is to make this a better world. These regulations dotted with sentimentality and moods have given body to a situational morality accommodative and selfish, with some negative values ​​are present and are tolerated. Populism abounding the rabble, and unfortunately today is the substrate that determines our society is governed by this system.

It seems that people with altruistic ideas and principles of good, have let populism contaminate and affect their own lives and civility. Dancing the dissonant is that the mob wants to sound. It seems that confused and frightened away from the known to cling to ideas, prejudices and ways of life, hiding behind excuses lined morality, wisdom and sound judgment to hide their cowardice and lack of commitment to the highest values society, country and Creation. The ability to revitalize the life of the nation is lost. So we can never reconsider our values ​​about ourselves and about other creatures and the natural world with those who cohabit these lands.

Surely continue to issue regulations of all kinds, from the shelter of the institutions, to try to curb irresponsibility and cruelty with which they move the masses of men in every way, but always with the fear that these are revealed, for all that the dough does not like it could be considered an affront to democratic freedoms and paralyzes the painted more public officials. Mechanism and permissive attitude and cowardly, while convenient outlet for dealing with the mob not to assert that dignifies the human being and facilitates its evolution toward a more fulfilling life in communion with nature. There is no democracy without a living humanist.

This state of affairs is also reflected in education, which can transfer many intellectual knowledge to the students, but where those who do not have liberal education resulting in a city that fits the above populism.

That populace confused with legalism and human values ​​has no ethical guidance and no transcendental destiny has destroyed a beautiful work of God in the form of Puma. It is not legal offense to kill a defenseless animal, not a mortal sin to kill a defenseless animal. Neither the State nor the Church recognize the dignity and right to life of an animal.

Ethics and human values ​​are universal, transcending the boundaries of human beings, there is no anthropocentrism, for their own sake and dignity must be also that of all life forms present in creation.
