By the Nature Club at MCAS
What is the opposite of wild?
Meaning; Treat (a person or animal) harshly, so that they become untrusting or nervous. Opposites of Wild. civilized, civil & urbane
- (of animals) Opposite of wild and feral, without taming or domestication.
tame. broken. domesticated. busted.
- undomesticated, untamed, unbroken; ferocious barbarian, savage tempestuous, stormy, frenzied, turbulent boisterous, insane...
Human language and its constructions are strange, if not unjust. It has all along been the case!
When in fact the earth is rotating and the sun is not, we say that the the sun rises and sets!
In Malayalam too, we say for example, 'കല്ല് തട്ടി' when in fact we only hit at it, may unknowingly!
My Scripture professor went to the extent of saying, if a dog were to write a scripture, it would certainly write that God created dogs in his own image and likeness!
You know the difference between nature and culture! Nature is considered to be പ്രാകൃതം (wild) while culture is സംസ്കൃതം (civilized/cultured) and so on!
From all this i would dare to go a step forward to say that we, humans only lost the Paradise while the rest of the livings, including the animals are still in the Paradise. That may be the reason Jesus wanted to look, rather imitate the birds of the air and lilies of the field!
Let me conclude with a lovely poem, "ஆறைவிட பெரிது ஐந்து" by Vairamuthu from his collections, "இந்த பூக்கள் விற்பனைக்கல்ல".
Let's not call man brute, for so many reasons...
He concludes, stunning us to be attentive to something deep inside the forest from where one animal abuses another, 'you damned man'!
