OPEN OUR EYES TO THE CRY OF THE ENVIRONMENT!

       

Let us open our eyes to the Environment..

“The environment is where we all meet; where we all have a mutual interest; it is the one thing all of us share.” (Lady Bird Johnson)

There are numerous problems why earth is actually in deep crisis. These problems are not just very simple or not merely alarming because this greatly affects the environment. We cannot doubt the fact; we can believe it or not that the cause of this numerous problems are US! Our ignorance of the fact that the world is alive and it is in deep longing for help continue to be so prevalent in the minds of everyone. Even our simplest way that led us to be irresponsible deeply affects it and in a bigger sense it destroys it. The greed of man in a consistent manner continue to consume and affect the environment in a negative way. Man continue to consume the richness of this planet without reminding each and every one that everything has its own end, everything will be consumed and there will come a time that because of us, because of our greediness, time will come that nothing will be left. What will happen in the future? What will happen to the future environment of our sons/daughters, grandsons and granddaughters? If we continue to punish and destroy this planet, where will we go?

        We are always preoccupied with the things at hand. Those things that is already in us today. We are happy with our life today. We continue to laugh. We continue to enjoy the benefits that this world gives us. Maybe it’s really right to tell each and every one that we are SELFISH. We continue consume and receive the things that this planet can and will lend to us. We are just thinking of ourselves. This is the main problem of man. We our ignorant of the fact that in reality, it is possible that the world will live even man do not exist. This planet can sustain itself even without us. Besides, if we will think deeply, man give more problems and chaos to this planet than the good things they brought to it. This planet remains to be faithful in her role as our source of everything but what good can we return to her? It is a big question that we need to ponder. We need to think deeply and need to open our eyes to the reality that we face in terms of our environment, our planet.

“Everything has a purpose nothing happens by chance or by coincidence” this I think will explain the reason why we are created. God can actually create only the universe, the planet and the environment, the animals. God can actually separate us from the world but he did not. Because God gives us this planet, this world or this universe as a gift for us to protect, to take care. This is a gift, because without this man cannot live. This planet is our source of everything. We must not need always to be greedy. Sometimes, we need to give something to this planet. It’s should not always be this planet the one who will protect and nurture us. We should also protect and nurture it. Because this planet was not created to be destroyed, this planet is created for us to take care and sustain.

It is true that we are the one who gave problems to this planet. We are the one who put in crisis but I believe we are also the one who can put cure in it. We just need to open our eyes and make the first step!

“The Earth will not continue to offer its harvest, except with faithful stewardship. We cannot say we love the land and then take steps to destroy it for use by future generations.”
—John Paul II
