Save The Earth =)

Ok so I think the whole earth is dying.

Global warming.. Ozone layer hole.. Nuclear plants, which may blow up anytime, all around the world.

I'm not talking about the 2012 Mayan doomsday theory

But a more real and closer to life experience.

Those who don't know, our waters are filled with mercury tainted fishes and organisms.
Why? Pollution, radioactive waste, lab dumps.. All goes into the river, and spreads around.

I am not a fan of fishing from the start, but whaling and killing dolphins excessively? That's a cause of concern.



People should see this. But the Japanese government's propaganda is so powerful, that it made those Japanese folks think that they are hunting dolphins because dolphins are eating too much of their fishes.

And then Japanese under the influence of the propaganda, thinks this way



Which is kind of scary what propaganda can do to you.
They say eating dolphin and whale meat is their tradition. But, dolphins are killed there more for entertainment purposes than for food. It is not even popular within the Japanese community.

Decide for yourself.

Doing something worth

We're always engaged in some activities or another.

Be it, playing games, doing work, studying, etc.

But does the activities that we engage ourselves in value add to our lives?
A simple activity like playing games adds to our intuition and reflexes, more complex activities like studying for some exam in the near future will also value adds what we have studied into our repertoire.


Does these activities value add into the paths we're following?

Many people have the stereotypical mindset that playing games does not add much value, and is just another time-waster. However, it definitely adds more value if we're playing in a competition rather than studying for something we will not pursue.



Within a set time frame, wouldn't doing something that value adds our life more, worth the time? This does not necessary applies fully, for we are definitely not sure what our paths will lead us to in the future, and what we may be doing now that we thought adds value to our lives, may just be well wasted.

We can only guide ourselves to that path, not control. Therefore, it's better logically to get an all round experience in as many things as possible, minimizing the impact it will cause if we failed to venture on the path we want.
But more experience in various things will therefore cause a decline in expertise of our main goal thus, you may be safe from failing the path, but you will not be a better expert in your own field.

It all boils down to no venture no gain, still it's important to think that people may also prefer safety to risk, giving them a stable foothold to fall on.

So, it is all based on your current perception of the various things you do, which adds value to your lives, rather than wasting your life away.
