A Hummingbird's Nest

 A hummingbird's nest is fragile, and can be easily broken. A hummingbird is afraid of humans, and will fly away from a person who gets too near. I don't know how the hummingbird feels when someone approaches its nest, one built from endless dedication. Especially when a hummingbird has eggs, it has divested a large part of its resources into creation and maintenance of the shelter, as well as the protection of the eggs. But it is easy for someone to approach the nest still, and utterly rend it to pieces, and that too, without much emotional consequence. What a one-sided emotional consequence this seems.

That person, upon destroying the nest, may forget about it even later that day, but the hummingbird has lost weeks of effort spent in building the nest and protecting the eggs. If the bird could speak, I bet it would be cursing the heck out of the indifferent perpetrator. Our creator must play with us the way a naughty boy plays with a hummingbird's home. Indifferently. Probably thinking about his next meal.
