I think we need a lot of rain. Do you know any rainy gods that do not require human sacrifice?

I suspect the best rain god should be a woman. Taking care of her children. Giving them life. Like mother earth

The trick seem to be to invent one. However, I don’t know if that helps. The best idea that comes to my mind is planting lots of trees (instead of cutting them down) but that requires politicians, who also require human sacrifice.

Inventing a god requires the least raw materials.
Talking of trees, while I was cycling around the place, I saw trees being cleared but none planted.

I guess where you see the tea plantations today there once was forest. Deforestation leads to draught. And if it is raining, the water is not retained and you may get flooding further down.
LikeLike
You are right on both counts.
Trees are being cut down to create space for farms and homes. Soon there will be landslides and erosion. People will not know what hit them

Always love to see photos of your country. I do like the look of the tea plantations, but not good that it mucks with the environment. Why are people so inconsiderate, selfish, greedy, stupid, and … and …?

That’s very true mak, and it’s sad to see in motion, though I also love it when you show us your home and the surrounding beauty that is left at present. And a rare sighting of the man himself too! Have a good day sir.

It’s important the good people who honour us with their visits and comments not think they are dealing with a bot.
Hopefully, some not daft people will plant trees to protect the dam

You can spend the fruits of greed (you know, buy mansions, several sport cars, put gold inlays throughout your bathroom, influence politicians, etc.) but common sense? Meh.

Even in a mansion with 100 rooms, one can only be in one room at a time.

I agree … but it’s the fame, the adulation, the ability to control others! In any case, as is obvious, common sense is a commodity only few possess and even fewer aspire after.
