When I watched Discovery Channel today, after a long period of time, I realized that I am not quite updated with the news of the world today.
I do know what is happening, but what I do not know is that the details and the follow-up stories.
For example, about global warming. Greenland glaciers is melting at an alarmed state. Even the researcher feels anxious seeing the reading they took; even worse, they scale it at 11 - in a scale of 0-10.
The same thing kinda happens at Alps. These 150 years it has lost more than 60% of its original volume. I'd say it's like a mountain that went on diet. While some thinks that these is nothing more than a propaganda or just a normal cycle, the suffering that we gone through and more importantly the Earth gone trough is real.
Why do we need to deny all this? Is it hard to abandon something for the sake of living in a more healthy way? Is it hard to live without gas? It is hard to plant a tree? Is it hard to recycle?
It is not. We are lacking of conciousness and effort. While we think that a decade is a long period of time, bit by bit time flies buy and suddenly it comes. Perhaps even sooner as things never goes the way we plan; more like, we never plan anything, God does.
Politicians should focus more on their job and raising awareness to the people of the greater issues at hand. It is not that hard to postpone a stupid quarrel for the sake if improving life quality. America for example should improve their economy first and raise the security and life level in their own country before trying to go and be a busy body on other countries affair.
All countries need to do the same. First world or third world, they are all the same. The difference is the richer one country is the better the survival.
Then again, the richer the country is, the more polluted it is. The same with moral degradation - directly proportional to wealth. I guess it's true that advancement with only physical in mind is nothing more than a poison - it will corrupt the minds of the people disrupting the flow of the society.
When I think about this, all the problem we are facing today is because we are too ego, too proud, too greedy.
And we are being too stupid. What's the use of having a mind when we don't use it?
'O God, what will happen to us?
