How do we sleep at night?

I read an article once where a villager in Grik asked, "How do we sleep at night?"


His question was in regards to the threats and fear they lived in because Tigers roamed the area and preyed on their livestock. Saving ferocious carnivors have always been a disputed stand. See, as humans, though we know that we are NOT the weakest link, we are constantly trying too hard to protect ourselves from harm. If there is one creature on earth with the least amount of courage, it would be humans. We do not have the courage be responsible for our actions, and we certainly do not have the courage to fully admit to our faults. We lack the courage to tell them world that we can be ruthless, in fear that it would taint our public image, and we do not have the courage to live a less comfortable life in exchange of ensuring that other life forms lead a comfortable life. We do not have the courage to be entirely anything, whether to be entirely compassionate, or to be entirely sincere. We are therefore, the least courageous beings that walk this planet.

How does this have anything to do with the villagers who couldn't sleep at night? Well for starters, they started a farming area in the tiger's natural habitat. To be be further unfair, they left their livestocks running free jubilantly without borders and expected the tiger to watched and salivate without feeding his instinct when he is hungry. They went into the jungle setting snares to trap the tigers JUST IN CASE it would attack them one day the same way it attacked their fat and juicy livestock. And when there was a case of a tiger defending himself while being attacked, they instantaneously blamed the tiger squarely for threatening their safety.

Have you ever seen a grown tiger cry? Then maybe you should watch this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6XbcyiH5eE&feature=related, How do We sleep at night? Knowing that we are probably the most conceited, irrational, selfish, uncompassionate, and conscienceless creatures God has ever created in the Universe?
