Over the past couple of years, natural disasters have been happening a little more often than it used to. Even a place like Malaysia, a place where is deemed to be free from major natural disasters as depicted in the Geography syllabus was doomed with the Tsunami back in 2004. Most Malaysians were so ignorant of the consequences of earthquakes and volcano eruption that we didn’t even know what a Tsunami looked like. It was a shocker to see the footage of what had really happened in the news later. Could this all be related to the global warming activities that are happening? Is our planet really sick?
We humans are now actively involved in saving the planet; i.e. promoting everything there is to know about global warming, recycling, saving the Earth, being mother nature ourselves. But really, are we qualified to even talk about stuff as big as saving the Earth when we can’t even learn the meaning of respecting others? When we are struggling to take care of ourselves and the people we love, how is it possible for us to take care of our planet?
The people today are more selfish than ever. Whatever happened to being trustworthy and helpful and caring for one another — I really don’t know. For the sake of surviving in this society, we are more cautious than ever but some of us are just using the wrong method of being cautious so to speak. Hence, a society filled with sick people.
I wonder if we’ll ever learn to save ourselves before saving the planet. You know, if we learn to make this society a better place to be in, probably the planet won’t be seen as a sick place.
