REALITY CHECK PART 2

   We live in a capitalistic world, no doubt. It has its benefits but it has become so prevalent that we have thrown our values and morals out of the window. These days it seems these values and ethical reasoning have no bearing on our character as people. Things are spinning out of control and only those with a strong conscience can see it. We have become oblivious of the core issues that are affecting the world that we have forgotten how to critically evaluate the repercussions on our sustainability. Problems are never problems till they are. In other words, if we are not vigilant we can never see change coming. This capitalism has placed the victims of it in a bubble. Usually, most people only pay attention to issues that affect them directly. This is diluting our sense of compassion and advocacy on matters that can affect the mortality of our beautiful world.

    I am passionate on addressing climate change especially now that our global focus is on wealth creation. It is a shame that some people who we have elected as our representatives consider this matter as deceitful despite all the signs that are evident. I am also a victim of being in a bubble at times, I am not perfect but every moment when I get that abrupt awakening and a sense of awareness I feel like it is my responsibility to try and change the circumstances. We can get caught up on what is happening in front of us that we forget to see the bigger picture. I feel that climate change hasn't received the attention that it deserves. I hope that by writing this, I will ignite an inner fire within you that will bring an inspiration to take up this matter and bring even that little great change that the world desperately needs. People become aware of climate change through the media but what if the matter isn't being addressed as much as it should be? Does that mean we forget and wait for hurricanes, tsunamis, famine and drought to brutally remind us of the current reality? 

   Climate change hasn't been receiving much attention because it happens over a long period. The problem is it only becomes noticeable when natural disasters strike. You can go through Reality Check Part 1 and see how countries like Bangladesh are on the brink of extinction because of the rising water levels. Waiting for problems so that we can tackle them isn't sustainable. Eventually all the ignorance and misconceptions are going to catch up with us and unfortunately it will be the posterity to suffer. I don't expect everyone to care, there are people who are the pioneers of the causes of these adverse changes in our ecosystem. Look at fossil fuel industries, multi-billion dollar companies that are run by people that are apathetic to the issue. It won't be easy changing all that we know. Simple things like the car that you drive or plan to contributes to CO2 emmisions. Change starts with awareness. 

   Uniting on this will speed up the process of self-restoration. The world is like a cell, it can recreate itself, it just needs to be given the right conditions for it to do the inevitable. You may not have the wealth and resources to go against these wealthy polluting companies but you have a voice that can change people's perception towards the matter. Only a voice? Doesn't seem so powerful, does it? But imagine if millions take up this cause, we have all the power that we need in unity. Trust me. Synergy creates a Master Mind where everything is possible.
