Is it just me or does anyone else gets bothered with the constant yapping that we hear every day about social causes like saving the planet or certain endangered species?
Don’t you get bugged when you constantly listen to environmentalists trying to feed you stuff that you don’t want to participate in voluntarily?
In all honesty, I would like people to focus on other important tasks at hand than trying to engage in “social causes”that are beyond our control. I mean, why would someone want to interfere with the nature?
Here is a list of certain aspects that I would prefer people not worrying about…and for good –
Worrying about Present
There is no present; just the near future and recent past
People always talk about living in the present and forgetting past or not thinking about future too much. Sounds fair, doesn’t it? Well, what if I told you that there is no future? You must be thinking I have gone bonkers. The way we decide that the moment we live in is present is through time and time waits for no one. The clock is always ticking. You think about capturing a moment in the present and it slips right past you. No wonder we can’t get things done on time. The bottom line is that there is no present; all you have are the near future and the recent past.
Worrying about Global Warming
Global warming is natural and not caused by humans
Global warming is another concern for many people around the world. They worry about water, air as well as soil. The earth is getting warmer and warmer by the day, they say. Well, that’s change and it is not caused by us. That is all nature.
Worrying about Saving the Endangered Species
Worrying about endangered species is a no-brainer. It’s evolution
Now how many times have we heard humans yelp about saving species that are declining with each passing day? If you add sensitivity to the issue, the discussion might seem fair and many people would join hands for the cause. However, if you think logically, it is just another attempt by humans to exhibit their controlling behaviour. Humans are trying to control nature, which is meddling with natural occurrences, and that can be dangerous. Statistically, since life began on earth, 90% of species that have existed have disappeared and humans are not responsible for their disappearance. Nature took its course; that’s what happened. Save the trees, save the tigers, save the whales – its evolution and we need to accept the change.
Worrying about Saving the Planet
The earth has seen many catastrophes and has prevailed
Save the planet – this, personally, is one of the silliest causes that humans are fighting for at the moment. We are trying to save the planet when we haven’t even learned to care for one another. Environmentalists are trying to interject into an area that is already fine. The planet has been around for four-and-a-half billion years, whereas humans have existed for a hundred thousand years, maybe two hundred thousand. During its time of existence, earth has seen some major catastrophes and it has prevailed. Do humans seriously think that a plastic bag can ruin the earth? The planet is not going anywhere people, we are!
Worry about Building Golf Courses
Golf courses can be used to build houses for the homeless
Have you noticed the number of golf courses that we have around the world? They occupy a lot of space and for a game that no one really enjoys or cares about. Golf is an elitist game and exhibits plain arrogance of people who can spare time off their schedule to knock tiny balls around with a crooked stick. So what do we actually worry about? How about homelessness? Can these golf courses be used to build affordable houses? Sure, why not.
