Inconvenient Truth : Be Responding!

While I was watching the film, "Inconvenient Truth" by Al Gore, I had a deep appriciation for the chance and timing of that I could not forget the message from the our mother nature. The film gave me more powerful impact than the book I've been reading.

As a matter of fact, we are all witnessing what's going on aroud us. Yet we are all complaining the hotness of summer, soggy feeling of rainy day, and shoveling work of snowy night, how often we think back the functions of environment around us? Or, might we believe the nature is already set up for us and that never changes its kind characteristic to humen?



What I most felt scary from the film was the disaster of hurricane Katrina. It reminds me the nonstop-40days-and-nights flood in the Genesis in the Bible. According the bible, God let the flood to punish the people who forgot the God's rules and love. After diminishing all people and life forms except Noah's family and the couples of each creatures, God gave the new nature to us. It was the promise that he will never destroy the world by such a thing.



The nature is love given to human, but it is also a rule to share our lives in it. When the relationship between love and rule is broken, we must account for that because as mentioned above, the nature should be the everlating present from God, but we are destroying it to satisfy our greeds which is impossible to be satisfied. Al Gore said the global warming and the terrible outcomes are the moral, ethical, and political issues. I totally agree with his opinion. To conceptualize the moral and ethical problems, it deadly requires the political action. And that can be the total reaction of the ultimate society of human beings from what we are facing now.



I think the politician can be either people working in the White House or ourselves. We are nonfamous politicians who can see the world more objectively than any others. We are resposible to show our actions to the politicians who forgot the real meaning of political service. If the we provide proper recation to nature as same as we have gotten from nature, we could be proud our life when we get in the heaven, and most importantly, we would not face any catastrophe in our lives because of not responding to it.
