Recently we have heard a lot about eminent people from different countries using big phrases in the COP 26 Summit in Glasgow, Scotland (which had featured in many of the British classic novels by writers such as Charles Dickens). Previously in the early '90s there was a similar Global Meet in Mexico. Like many people, I am skeptical as to possible outcomes and as to whether the Meet's main aims and objectives would be realised.
Let me give an example right in my neighbourhood. Just adjacent to the Apartment complex where I reside, there used to be a large mangrove; the owner/s of the grove used to display their mangoes and sell them at a probably reasonable cost. Nearly two years back, the trees were cut and large machines were brought in to construct concrete buildings in the area. Besides, the work was (and has still been) carried out day and night, amidst a lot of sound emitted by these machines. No body seems to question the atrocitites comitted by such highly selfish and greedy owner rascals.
I think that we live in a world of contrasts.
