The world we live in is an amazing place, so full of life that as best we know is found no where else in the known universe. It is diverse and every where we look species live alongside species surviving as only they know best as nature planned. As human beings we have developed an intelligence that surpasses all the other life to a point where we have become far too superior for our own good. Our intelligence has led us to develop many things that make our lives better, however there is one thing that through all the learning we have done that has been sadly lost, that is instinct. It is the most natural of senses that all creatures within the animal kingdom have maintained and it is crucial to their survival.
With total respect to the families of loved ones lost in shark attacks, I put forward this thought for people to consider and share. We are creatures of the land and that is our home. We explore many regions, and that includes the oceans which cover more than 70% of our planet. The oceans are home to literally thousands of species of living organisms, some of which are totally harmless, and others that pose great danger in the wrong situations. Early humankind understood these dangers and using the knowledge they had, they minimised the risks they faced in order to enter that domain if they so needed to do. Their instinct told them to be careful and with that they survived and thrived, however we have now become either complacent or carefree, and there seems to either be a lack of regard for what may happen to us, or we are accepting of the risks taken and take our lot as it comes.
