Explain the thought O do not lightly take away The life thou canst not give
Answers
The writer of this expression ‘O do not lightly take away The life thou canst not give’ means that no man should take away the life of any living being because he can’t give that creature life back. In simple words the writer is reminding all the hostile people who don’t shudder killing other people and animals that they don’t have the right to kill any man animal or plant as they can’t give life back to the man, animal or plant killed by them.
The line clearly signifies that how precious our lives are. Often after facing pain or hardship we decide to bring an end to it.
But the question is did we start the life by ourselves?
When the supernatural power has gifted us with this valuable gift, who are we to decide whether to end it or not.
If we are not responsible to initiate a life then how come we may decide to end it either?
On the contrary our duty is to face the situation with bravery and to challenge the shortcomings and win the situation.
