elements of plot 7 ...
all human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsion, habit, reason, passion, and desire - aristotle (384 bc – 7 march 322 bc!)
elements of plot in a narrative :
7. conclusion - the end of the story.
is there desire ? ... sure. so, all human actions include one or more of the above said by aristotle. if one simple human action like collecting honey, includes all the seven, then what justifies the destruction ? the tree is anyway doomed by the hole that was already present in it. this bee does not have a potent sting and starts rebuilding the colony immediately.
the older the bee coloney, the tastier the honey, this particular hive has been spotted and monitored for three years by "woodpecker" for a special ocassion when it arises. this honey is called as "adduku thein" in the local language, literally meaning, "layered honey". this honey was gifted to me, in the wish for good health and long friendship. this honey is not any honey, apart from being the tastiest that i have ever tasted. an honour to have received it ...
could every human cause turn a blur with an eigth one present, called compassion ? or love ?
why is it that all modern approach to conservation of wildlife which includes the tribal communities are so "modern-man centric", we simply dont think from their point of view but ours and ours alone.
why is it that all wildlife readily parts with its by-products and express "love" among sincrere logic ?
is there something more to learn, since 7th march 322 bc ?
considering an "eigth" cause to compliment human actions could be the conclusion, so that, its ... not the end of the story ...

Well played. I suspected Sandalwood knowing it's value and the "desire" for it. The irony of my drinking hot tea and honey while reading your series is too sweet.
Thank you sir.
A female friend of mine has come to my house. She has filled the bathroom with bottles of unguents at 20, 30 40 $ a pop.
I ask her why. She tells me the chemist recommended it.
??
wonderful photo....
I love the pattern in this photo!
When I found out how honey was made, I wished I hadn't learned about it. Although, I can't remember the exact process now. I should look it up.
hello marc, welcome to wildpic ... thanks for your suggestions, it made my going great. thats wonderfull that your tea and honey ... and honey went well !
cheers !
hi there davo, unguents can be cheap to bloddy hell no ... she must be a special person, to care so much, with unguents to start with. am sure she smells terrific !
the chemist is a smart guy !
hi hayden, thanks !
cheers !
hi patty, you know, this pattern is the strongest, structurally.
most processes are shocking when we have imagined a simple, sweet one. process of making silk makes me feel sad too. do you want to know how honey is made ? will forward some info ...
cheers !
So..the mystery has been revealed
What u said about modern-man centric..its ture and sad too.The tribal communities who have forever lived close to nature ..who knows every leaf ..every animal and every bird in their forests, who can predict seasons without any fancy satellites ,who have tons of indigenous knowledge and wisdom ..have all been brushed aside as ignorant bumpkins( not blatantly but in a polite, subtle but assertive manner). Now everything is managed by people with fancy degrees. Its the age of super-specialisation and for everything there is a super-specialist. First we smart people took nature for granted, then we exploited it and now we are trying to manage and control it. We realize .nature is truly messed up.. and all of us are in deep shit."Modern-man"(a.k.a-educated man)is desperate..and he thinks only he can fix the mess. So all the ignorant tribal bumpkins...keep yr view points to yrself and please step aside so that we can save our asses.
As for the eighth one--love/compassion…all other causes turning into a blur sounds awesome in theory..but do u think man is capable of it?—I doubt .I mean what about “Reason”…do u think there is anything a man does without a reason ..or in other words unconditionally (stretching reason a bit far)? And thats where wildlife differ from us..they do not have a reason(other than being part of their life cycle)...they just give…or rather we just take. Does that make us lower than animals ?? oops! Forgot we are supposed to be intelligent higher beings.
(Am I not too sarcastic?…or maybe I totally missed the point here and I am talking crap. I hope for all our sakes it’s the latter.)
hey e2d, your comments make a lot of sense, please give me some time to get back to you. need to tell you some of my views and whats happening and ofcourse the honey-beesting dilema, which i havent elaborated ... will be back ...
thanks for ya not at all dumb comments ... ! take care in style ...
