It is not too late to believe in man,even when some choose not to believe in God.

- Yi Shen

It is an irony, even though i'm sure you didnt mean it this way, when you concur that we can still believe in man even if we dont in god. Of course, i am in agreement when you say that humans do possess the potential to do good. However, it will never be enough to repair te damage done to earth and mankind. The monstrosit has always been escalating, but over the decades either we've been blind or turned ourselves blind to it. How many times have we in our minds thought this way 'It's ok, we have time to do it tomorrow' etc. We caused these problems, We ignored them, and now suddenly the world is full of people starting to feel indignant that the earth and people are sufferring from such indescribable madness.

This is something we must be aware of. Dont you agree that most of the times when you watch clips or videos showing the sorrow and pain of those sufferring in silence or those being silenced, you feel the pangs of maybe ... guilt, and you go like 'what the fuck is the world doing ?' what the fuck is the world doing, you say. You are essentially a fragment of this good earth. You are a citizen of this civilisation. And yet you blame the world for all that has gone bad. We all (me included) subconciously throw the blame onto other factors. You are right, Your family and friends are right. Every other soul unknown to you in the world is wrong.

I have never been particularly active in promoting the awareness of the global situation. I have a faint inkling of whats going ... the earth's dying ya da ya da. Crap. If everyone who rambles on and on about such issues are so sincere, then why are we still sinking into this mire ? If activists were so damn brilliant, then why all that i can see them do is wasting time and money lobbying for this and that change, making a bloody nuisance of themselves and still not get things done ? Impratical, self centered and arrogant. YOU THINK YOU CAN CHANGE THIS WORLD ? What kind of justification have you got to say that you can even come close to understanding what kind of pain has been inflicted on those victims, or the enormity of the wound that we have opened on earth. You blatantly display pictures of suffering victims and etc, but how can you do that with your morals intact ?

Can you be responsible for those people you talk about ? Can you save them ? Can you grow back a million trees in your lifetime ? Can you help the world breathe again ? Dont tell me that you are the catalyst for the reaction that will come in the future generations, only that YOU WANT TO BE.

Of course, there are individuals who sincerely strive to make the world a better place, who wish to right the wrong we did. But dont you get sick of the commercialisation and 'fashioning' of the ideal to improve the 'sanctuary' we live in ? Albeit the fact that this channel of propogating ideals and awareness is effective but it also blocks people from truly accepting and internalising the very reason why they feel the guilt and pain. It always the question of whether you are doing this for the good of the world or for yourself. We all are capable of moralising and self-reflecting, but in what sense ? To act on the selfish impulse to eradicate or to stifle that momentary flash of guilt ?

I am ignorant of alot of on-goings in the world, though not intentionally, but nevetheless inexcusable. But i do not make myself to be a greenie and the one-man activist that alot of people try to be. All i can say is : we are humans, by that very fact, we are also unfortunately ( or not ) mortals. How can we compete in this race for time ? I do not know and i do not presume to know. All i can say is, good luck, Man and good night.

Alson - the hypocritical, randomly blasting reiatsu yet again.
