I am catching up with posting online my articles.
Sharks... while there are less than 10 deadly sharks attacks per year and less than 50 other attacks humans kill around 100 million sharks per year out of the fear and phobia of them. For sure couple of movies ( mainly "Jaws" by Steven Spielberg ) helped to spread this phobia effectively. And if we continue like sharks will face the extinction.
Now... do we really need to kill all the sharks ?
Sharks are part of the ecosystem and if we kill all of them then this will affect the whole eco-balance. I don't know how but we will find out after it is too late and we will regret it.
Thus is there any way to stop this massacre and deal with this problem ?
Well... I have seen few tv programs showing that some people were able to maintain friendly relationship with the wild animals who were always regarded by humans as deadly - lions, snakes, spiders, crocodiles etc. And I have also seen one program showing a man swimming peacefully next to the "deadly and human flash hungry beast" - the great white shark.
And I have asked myself the standard question: "WTF ?".
This showed me clearly one thing... humans are really fucked... and because of this fuckness the animals suffer tremendously.
What is the solution then ?
First of all we must stop projecting the fear within our mind. It is all created and fueled within our minds. And possibly this fear provokes sharks and other wild animals to attack humans. Secondly we must stop the nonsense of killing every shark that we see. Thirdly if we have an encounter with these animals we must learn to stop and control the panic. I know that this may not be easy but at the same time if we are in the middle of the ocean and there is nothing else that we can do to get out of there then maybe it would make more sense to at least stop the fear and panic. And maybe this will stop to irritate the animal and it will leave us at peace.
I know that it is easy said and practice can be different when we see suddenly shark approaching us in the ocean. But at the same time if we start taking into consideration that it is possible to have friendly relationship with sharks ( which has been proven on multiple occasions ) and we place this thought within our mind then the things will start to change.
