The world is such a beautiful place created by God. There aren't enough words to describe how magnificent it is. Not even poets can fully define how great our world is. Because starting from the skies down to the depths of the sea and to the end of the universe; ironically because it is endless, there are several terms to start with and non to end.
"And I think to myself what a wonderful world" a line from Neil Armstrong's song. It is indeed a wonderful world, because it is simply wonderful. What more can I say? People often see the world as a gigantic mass floating in the universe with the other planets but just as what Neil Armstrong said "I put up my thumb and it blotted out the planet Earth." That's how small the earth really is, maybe even smaller than we really think. And just the fact of knowing that we can now realize that the earth may not last that long, not just because it'll blow up or something, but because of our irresponsibility. So, is it still a wonderful world?
Several years have passed and the blue planet we once knew is somewhat becoming duller, every second and every minute of our lives. Everyone is hearing about the ozone depletion, climate change and other catastrophic words about our planet's situation. All of them are because of us, every single one of us. That one candy wrapper we didn't properly dispose of, those plastics getting wasted and those chemicals being thrown away everywhere are contributing to that problem. And that problem has been an obstruction to each and everyone of us who's been longing to live a care free world where in you can drink on every lake or river and lie on every corner, breath wherever you want without that smoke becoming a hindrance. You can do almost everything, without getting sick because nothing is contaminated. That was before, but honestly, the earth was also polluted even before. It may not be that noticeable but it was still there. And it'll always be and it can worsen.
Can we change the world? Make it look better? A song once said "Together we can change the world", is it really possible, that if everyone were to help there would be any difference? The government, departments, organizations, groups, et cetera are thinking of numerous ways on getting the earth's condition better. Yes, they are working but temporarily. The earth is still the same "about to die" earth. Because everywhere I look, I see a piece of trash lying, people smoking and vehicles belching dark hazes. Everyone is helping but not exactly everyone. And that's really disastrous.
Ignorant, lazy and irresponsible are the types of attitude that causes these problems. And these are the people who keep on dumping their wastes everywhere. If everyone were to realize that if we were to do something good everyday for the benefit of our planet's state we could live a better world. Because it may not be permanent but at least we know that because of us we are minimizing the earth's consumption of pollution. We need not to tell or assign people to do this or that, it's realization, that's what they need and concern. If mankind were to have those two attitudes we would be living in a more suitable world.But the sad reality is that only a few people posses that trait. And I bet, if these keeps on our future might not seem to exist, it may but would anyone still want to live in it?
These thoughts ponder in our minds and they'll always be along with all of those deliberation. " This is one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" another quote from Armstrong. It's true that if we were to take that one step we could do some changes that could really turn and become big. We may be small but nothings impossible if we believe because our imagination is the only limit to reaching reality.
We can save the earth, but we can't guarantee how long. The crisis were encountering may seem to be forever but all we need is action. Let's act, do something, stop planning and just do what we're all suppose to do to make our future beautiful in someway. We may not help change the world permanently but at least it'll last. Because we only have one home, planet earth.
