The Wrath of Mother Earth

If I am merely searching for a hot shot – why not crash on the latest update on the status of those running candidates for the 2013 election? …and to encourage my fellow voters to vote wisely? Politics here and there indeed is worsening. The precise counteract is just to be conscious enough to our own doings and not solely rage deafening criticisms, not unless it was made constructively.

Atlast, I found just the exact phenomenon to care about: Environmental chaos. Just few years ago, many Filipinos suffered a terrible loss as Typhoon Ondoy and Pepeng hit the very core of Metro Manila. Sendong also took many lives in Iligan City and Cagayan de Oro City. Lately, Typhoon Pablo hit Compostela Valley and Davao Oriental which was a big catastrophe of the region. Not only that, the whole country was struck by different calamities left and right by storms, landslides, ships overloading and sinking and other disasters. Kudos to those who donated million costs of relief goods and medicines. Plenty sympathized and offered prayers and donations. Those times we’re able to realize a united Philippines.

But must we convene only on repairing the damages and relieving the pain? The globe is undeniably on the verge of sinking.
The national and local government, environmentalist, and environmental NGO’s, to name a few, led all the talking and finding the ways to save mother Earth. Yet I stop to think, are they only the people that habituate the Earth? Why don’t we think of our own ways and do our own things to help preserve the environment? After all, you and me; we all are subjected to extinction, so as nature. We all may experience the same loss that the people of Metro Manila, Iligan, Cagayan de Oro, Compostela Valley and Davao Oriental had suffered. This piece of write-up did not intend to enumerate the ways and just stop there. I believe you too, knows what’s right and what’s not.

Soon we shall be elders and parents. What sort of living shall we pass on to our future offsprings? What image of the world shall we extol to the future generation? Get enough of all the blaming and merely talking on what should be done. Reset your mind my dear reader to resolve your own issue and self-centeredness. Mother Earth is calling for you.
If we remain stagnant to our languid lifestyle and wait for the storm to clout us, future will be timid enough to claim us. The threat of ceasing will be just a pace away.
