Earth

Home.

I'm a permanent resident.


Hmm. I'd like to complain about increasing fuel prices. But really. It's not like we've got a whole lot of it left anyway. Electricity costs have also risen. I suppose one solution would be to use less. Hmm. Making changes to our incredibly comfortable lifestyle?

No way! It's our right as citizens to use as much electricity as we want... right?

I don't feel talking about it because there's still so much that I myself need to resolve and reconcile, but I really need to get this off my chest. Like, what are we doing about our neighbors who don't even have electricity? Or clean water? Why is it such a big deal that our "necessities" come at a higher price when we deny these necessities to others. Ah forgive me for being cryptic. I'm trying to see how far I can go without being a hypocrite.

My point is... ok, I'll admit, this was more or less because everyone started complaining about the 2.70RM/litre price hike. It also reminded me of the miniature world video Greg put up.

43% of the world live without basic sanitation.
30% of the world have bank accounts.
7% are educated at secondary level.


If you have a fridge to store food, closet to keep clothes, a bed to sleep in, and a roof over your head, lucky you.
Cause 75% of the world doesn't.

18% struggle to live on 1USD or less a day. (about RM3.20)
53% struggle to live on 2USD or less a day. (about RM6.50)


Granted, these stats are old, and are probably much worse now. That's the way the economy of the developed world works, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.


I used to think preventing global warming was important, but not a huge priority cause I was gonna die before the shit hits the fan anyway. Well, that was pretty selfish, and in fact foolish, cause... I've only got one home.


Sustainable Development is defined as meeting the needs of today without compromising the ability of future generations ability to meet their needs. Learnt that in the second week of engineering. That seems like a perfectly normal thing to do right? I mean, obviously never intend to make life hard for our grandkids. But humans are just so shortsighted. No one really worries about the consequences if they can make a quick buck. No one worries about the consequences unless its immediately and obviously harmful. And no one worries about the consequences until the shit hits the fan. And even then, some are still capable of pretending there are no consequences.

I don't know folks. I've just yelled an incoherent mess. And in some sense, this is the beginning of my apology to my home, for all the damage I've done. It's also the indication that I've got my foot somewhere along the journey of the redemption of my home.


Am I a treehugger? How many people strive each day to put money into a dream retirement home fund? I know where I'm spending retirement, and retirement's gonna last an eternity. Can you blame me?
