Powerless

Sunday, February 04, 2007

These days I feel very powerless.

I can't do anything to change things around me. Can't do anything about people having bad opinions about me. Can't change the environment I'm in. Can't change every single thing. I don't have the choice.

But yet I don't understand why powerful people do not like to change things for the better.

China and US didn't sign the Kyoto Protocol. Now just look at global warming. Amazon rainforest is now under threat. No one is doing anything now. What are people doing? Nothing?

And now I don't understand why everyone needs a defence force. Is it just because we are different - that's why we must try to deter others from invading us? Is it just because we are different? To me, it wastes a lot of resources to have a defence force - not to mention wars.

People say oil prices are soaring. Look at the fact. Doesn't armoured units need oil? Doesn't those war planes need oil? It's just such a waste. Look at the lives that are lost - the medical supplies that are used...it's just a waste. Can't we live everyday just like this? Are there not enough losses in the Iraq war?

But life still goes on. For how long? 40 years? 50 years before the whole biological system turns upside down?

Now I don't know what to say. Not that I need help, but can I cope in this situation?
