Another boring post about the environment

People learn to treat everyday things as given. Our homes, our companions, our stuff, the air we breathe, the water we drink. It is difficult to realize that there are people who don’t have these things given. And it is even harder to think that we don’t face the same difficulties just by chance.

I can’t be more precise when it comes to so general issues. I can only have some random thoughts:

• Al Gore never made it to become the big boss of the planet. Instead he was awarded with a Nobel prize for his efforts to save it. I wonder which is better.
• I many times think of what would happen if instead of clean water we had to drink poisoned water like million people have to. How would we cope with that? Some people know and run for water.
• This summer we burned everything in Greece. Many people died, other lost their animals, their home, everything. Do we still remember them? Do we realize it was a matter of luck we were not there? Are we going to do anything about them? Or have we totally forgotten?
• For me nature represents innocence and wisdom. Even the most extreme natural phenomena don’t make me be afraid of it. I have learnt some good lessons though. We, people, must be too corrupted and too stupid not to respect nature.
• I see the same innocence and the same wisdom in kids and animals. I don’t have kids. I grew up with animals and now I have Roxanne. All animals have helped me learn a lot about myself. I respect them and I believe they are just one of the numerous children of nature. We should be too. Sometimes I think we are not anymore.
• I become aware of nature by many different ways. During fall and spring nature is music for me too.
