The Other Face of Earth
The Laws of Animals… and the Laws of Humans
Written by Abdullah Al-Omira
In the other corner of this planet—far from noise, ego, and human turbulence—life moves with a silent, precise rhythm.
Forests sway in layered greens… rivers glide with serenity… birds soar as if they carry ancient maps in their wings…
And wild animals, sea creatures, and insects that seem chaotic at first glance are, in truth, governed by strict laws that never deviate.
There, on “the other face of Earth,” nature appears more disciplined than the cities crafted by human hands.
The Law of Instinct… and the Justice of Need
Bees never build their hives in vain.
Ants never leave their colonies without purpose.
Even predators kill only when hunger demands it.
A complete life system unfolds without noise, without domination, without the hunger for power.
Its laws are simple:
Maintain balance… take only what you need… do not ruin what surrounds you.
These creatures were created compelled, with no choice but to follow a divine order woven with wisdom and precision.
But Humans… are Something Else
Humans alone were created between what is predetermined and what is chosen.
Predetermined in what they cannot control:
The beating of the heart, the flow of blood, breathing, aging…
Laws that neither intellect nor will can alter.
And free in what they shape outside themselves:
Opening the gates of good—or extending a hand toward harm,
Building the world—or corrupting it,
Creating—or destroying.
Within humans lies an “inherent goodness,” but they lean—when the mind sleeps—toward wrongdoing.
Unlike animals, which know neither corruption… nor tyranny… nor excess.
The Laws of Animals… and the Laws of Humans
Nature’s laws move in one direction: production and balance.
Human laws—when stripped of reason—scatter into many directions:
Some build life… others extinguish it.
Thus, “the other face of Earth” becomes a mirror:
A mirror that tells us the Creator is One,
But the test is different…
The responsibility heavier…
And the mind is what separates instinct from corruption.
The Message
Humans are not asked to live like ants or bees.
But they are asked to reflect on their laws:
How does nature move without chaos?
How does it produce without devastation?
How does it remain in balance without conflict?
Through reflection, humans discover that the greatest gift God granted them is not power, nor authority, nor mere intellect…
But the ability to choose.
A choice that can repair the face of the Earth…
or distort it.
⭐ **Which one would you choose, dear reader?
The human who appears innocent… or the animal you assume is savage?
And can a human who seems savage… be innocent at heart?**
An animal acts according to what instinct has taught it,
while a human acts according to what the conscience hides.
And so…
the “savage” may be innocent simply because he knows no other path,
while the “innocent” may be a beast because he knows… and still chooses otherwise.
This is the paradox that granted humans their mind,
and bound them to honesty with themselves—long before judging the world.
Final Insight
Nature is a school; animals are servants of its order.
But humans… are the writers of their own laws.
They can either script a life aligned with the Earth—
or keep running from the chaos they themselves created.
