HE00695 - O' God! ; Have Mercy on these Amphibians
When you read a text of biology that explains how the life started at sea or in water and then came to dry land; there are many interesting points in it. We may compare the insolate migration of the sea-creatures to land to what is happening to seafarers these days.
They wanted food as it was scarce at sea, this may not at first glance be comparable but let's see it from another point of view. It is true that the seafarers may get more money than most of those with the same education or experience ashore but at what price? In many parts of the world, the overtime wages are dependent upon the time of that overtime and if after midnight or so during bank holidays, the rate is quite high. The reason may be the fact that the person is actually compensated for the effort being spent and being away from the family, friends or whatever else desired. The wages at sea may be higher than shore due to this fact, but the question is: are they really compensating!? * They are Ectothermic or rather Poikilothermic i.e. their temperature changes with the ambient temperature and adapt themselves as so. The mariners are very much adaptable too; there are quite a number of changes every day in the normal routine of their work and life as well as the various shocks being felt due to new regulations and laws being enforced. They not only adapt to such atmospheres but later on try to make use of and get professional in. This perhaps is the nature that helps them but what we are seemingly forgetting is that how far we can push or where the limits are. * The amphibians escaped to land to avoid the predators such as giant fishes and sharks which were growing larger and larger as the time passed by and there was no way to stay away from. Very unfortunate but it is a bitter fact that the seafarers are being repelled from sea for the same of so many reasons. The world trade depends on them in a vital way but yet again the arena is getting so tight that whoever has a chance would not like to stay at sea anymore. It seems to be the Chytridiomycosis2666 of the mistreatments that are being practiced against the mariners which is the major causes of this migration and or initially having seen no interest in joining the career.
