Man: Savior of Humanity

The earth has lots of mysteries unfolded by science. We knew that the earth is tilted and it has that long distance from the sun so that it will get enough heat for the day and cold for the night. We also knew that it is not stopping to rotate and revolve. We knew of its envelopes of atmosphere that protect us from harmful rays of the sun, the composition of its gasses perfect for us for breathing, the soothing climates that changes overtime. These incredible facts convinced me that they are divine creations of a Supreme Creator, a Supreme Being that governs all things. For everything there are laws and orders set forth. There are laws decreed on the formation of stars up to the smallest organism on earth.

What if these laws are broken? The demands of justice will take place and the ends of it must be inevitably answered.

Our earth has rules to follow and we, being the highest race created, were given power to dominate and care over those other species. But the power that was given to us seemed to be abused. Greed for modernization has conquered our hearts. The laws of nature are offended and if a rule is broken then justice will take over the matter.

Earthquakes, tsunamis, heavy storms and soaring heat rise on our time. It seems that we are going to answer the demands of justice. We are the ones who did it, we are the ones to suffer. We should not think that justice will hold its peace and allow us not to be punished. Once an action is done, it cannot be undone. The die is already cast. We should not blame our fathers because they already left us with a dreadful home. What we should do is to stand united until the demands of justice is satisfied.

How? Start to change yourself and keep in mind and heart that you are going to help. Start conserving energy and water on your homes and clean your backyard. We should not think that this will not affect the crisis we are dealing with now. Remember, great things start from little ones.

We are heroes of our generation and are forerunners of the next. Let us leave them with a habitat that is perfect for living, leisure and work. Let us unite and care not only to dominate over these things. Just imagine how wonderful this planet can can be!
