Living Like We're Dying

Humans are born selfish, as what Karl Sagan said. We are filled with much greed that we forget to think of others and to what we act. We possess life to selfishly take what we wanted. We take everything but forgot to preserve it. We act without thinking that causes us misery. And now, we are faced with different issues and problems that cause our Mother Earth to lose its capacity to sustain what we want leading it for man to suffer an inconvenient truth.


Generations from generations, men has consistently depends on Mother Earth. For millions of years, we have used nature for our benefits and for our needs. We have given different resources for us to continue to live. We have found the perfect place for humans to get the necessities needed in survival. All of these gave us satisfaction through Nature’s Gift. Despite these, Mother Earth now has slowly becoming old. She can no longer give us what we want instantly. She is losing most of her prized possessions and treasures resulting this for man to greedily get more without giving. Thus, it resulted into a horrifying truth.


Possibly the largest global problem this planet has ever faced is upon us, and the part that’s even more scary, it may be the one we are most unprepared for. For a couple of decades now the earth has been going through changes and many have neglected to acknowledge these changes, but it’s clear, the time is now. Al Gore’s documentary film titled “An Inconvenient Truth” does a very good job giving everyone who watches it a better understanding on the issue of global warming. This is so important because not enough people understand what a big deal it is, and how it will impact our children in the years to come.


The documentary film “An Inconvenient Truth” is an eye opener and a wa
keup call for all humans. We are not all aware of the current situation happening in the world. Many people still don’t understand the significance of global warming. It is the result of the different human activities and the continuing emission of excessive carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere. Most of us still continue to destroy the Earth’s atmosphere. We can no longer deny the current state of the world and the environmental devastation we have caused. We, the concerned people must intervene to put an end to the misery we are on. Now is the time to wake up from our deep slumber.


But, what exactly are the dangers in global warming? Some may think that it’s just another trend occurring in our world. Some people won’t mind them at all. And mostly people will not believe until they suffer. But what exactly are the consequences of global warming? Is it really that horrible? One result of global warming is that the Earth ice sheets have already becoming unstable. With these result, it may cause a great hazard among millions of people. And of course there are more, with global warming we can see killer droughts settling in; extreme weathers and super storms; and mostly the coming in of new flu’s and viruses. The only way we can do is to be the cure of this problem.


Humans tend to forget that problems are caused by our actions. But the solutions to our problem are in our hands. As we have seen we’re already seeing changes. Global Warming has caused, will cause us massive damage. We have started this and there is no doubt that we can solve this. Just like what Albert Einstein said, “We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.” Then, we can solve these issues by changing our routines and letting our mind and heart take action. This may be simple ways but it can add up unto a big difference.
