WHEN a crisis occurs, people tend to blame everyone else but themselves. If someone meets with an accident due to his own inadequacies, they say that it is an act of GOD.
Is God there only to punish us? God bestows happiness and removes sorrow. Instead of pointing fingers here and there, it is far better to focus on what we can do.
Sometimes, we think values are only connected to morals and ethics. But just look at the condition of the world around us and we can see that we are living a life almost devoid of values.
We have said: " We can control the environment, we can dominate it but we do not have to respect it."
Can we say that today? We have come to a point of crisis. I think we have been shocked by the results of what we have done.
It is our past actions that have led to the pollution of the environment; increased noise and heat levels, the decimation of the forests and landslides today.
So now we say:" Ah, but there should be respect; respect for life, for the environment; for all forms of life and definitely, there should be respect for human life."
Living a life of moderation is the best way out.
Many charters may be signed and environmental laws passed, but we will continue to damage the environment and destroy our home until we learn to respect life.
I can only respect life"out there" when i respect myself "in here".
Thought for reflection: Let us take responsibility for our own actions.

hi Mmudahlupa, it is normal, blame the world except themselves, it is an easy route to escape. to be successful, we need to stand up strong for our mistake and take all initiative to fix the problem qucikly, no problem can't be solved as long as we are passionate to solve it.
