Transcript of On the Environment

As the earth revolves faster and as time passes, rapid changes also come ahead. Yes, changes in every aspect of human life. A reality that comes with it, that not all changes we encounter are for the better.The thinking and intellect of a person may be infinite, constantly moving and continuously living. And this are one of the root causes of rapid changes in the world towards modernized, progressive and successful living. But because the advancement of our lives seems to be unstoppable, some vital parts of our life had been easily left behind. And one of these things is our environment.Our environment is like a hand-painted image that loses its vibrance and fades gradually. And now this is a challenge we all face, to take care of our environment for a better tomorrow.Knowledge. Admit it or not, almost everyone of us lack knowledge. We are unconscious of the true value and importance of our environment. Keep in mind that everything starts with identity. Therefore, we are bound to learn and re-learn the true value of our environment.Limitation. Everything has its boundaries, everything has its own end. But not everyone seems to know this. With our constant usage and abuse, we seem to be unconscious that our environment is like a piece of match that loses its shape as fire consumes the whole of it.History. Our environment gained its existence since the creation of the world. Environment plays a vital role since the beginning of our lives and as it reaches its due course. A part of our lives' yesterday, today, and tomorrow.Foundation. Environment is the foundation of every creation. This can be a fountain of life but has the capacity to trigger fatal circumstances. A reality check, human being depends itself entirely to environment.Let these things be the way for us to give importance to our environment. Knowledge of its genuine value, limitation in all of our actions, be conscious enough that it shapes our history and serves as our strong foundation.The challenge is now on our hands, it's never too late to change ways. Let's face it, we should give due importance to our environment towards a better tomorrow.
