God Gave It, Now We Defiled It, We Must Recreate It

"
The land shall not be sold in perpetuity, for the land is mine; with me you are but aliens and tenants through out the land that you hold, you shall provide for the redemption for the land." (Leviticus 25:23-24)"The Lord took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work for it and take care of it." (Genesis 2:15)


These are the simple sentences yet they contain the hardest task that God commanded us to do. Hardest, why hardest? Come to take a look of our surroundings and you will see why it is the hardest. Continuous destruction, depletion, demolition of our nature are what I can see on this world, this world given to us by God. We are commanded to take care and preserve this former paradise but are we doing now?


"I brought you into a plentiful land to eat its fruits and it good things. But when you entered, you defiled my land and made my heritage an abomination." (Jeremiah 2:7)
In this verse, God gave this world to take advantage but what we are doing is too much and now, God is scolding us and He's trying to show in front of us the mess that we did on His heritage. This is tolerable and we must start working now! But in this state, are there still ways to replenish the pain that we made on this paradise?


We all know that nature can be our friend but can be our enemy also only if we will defile it. Nature can revenge against us if we will harm it like flash floods, landslides, tsunami and many more that can destroy many lives of nature-destructing humans. In order to preserve our friendship with nature, we must preserve it too! We must be responsible on taking care of it. We still have hope to build up the lost friendship. There are still virgin lands, untouched mountains, remote and beautiful sites that are not yet touched by our ruinous and filthy hands, and we must prevent the state that our Mother Earth already has no places on her surface that are clean and virgin. And I know that all of us don't want to end this world because of our works of destruction, right? Global warming, acid rain, all kinds of pollution, ozone depletion are just some of the results of our work that we need to clean up. If we will ask some students the question "What can you do to conserve our nature?", 80% to 100% will answer "We can plant trees". That answer is correct but the problem is, can they do it? Can they promise us that they will do such things? Of course not. Solutions to our problem in nature can be not complicated instead they can be simple, simple as putting trashes on your pockets for a while, lessening the use of paper in our school, segregating wastes and even by just telling your father to use unleaded gasoline to supply fuel on his car, of course our father cannot resist our requests.


"Cause life's a constant change, and nothing stays the same, oh no." said by Jose Mari Chan on his song. I believe that nothing on this world that don't undergo changes. Our Earth was changed from a paradise into a smoky mountain and I hope we can change it again from smoky mountain into a paradise again.


♪ I see trees of green... red rose too
I see them bloom... for me and for you
And I think to myself... what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue... clouds of white
Bright blessed days... dark sacred nights
And I think to myself... what a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow... so pretty... in the sky
Are also on the faces... if people... going by
I see friends shaking hands... sayin... how do you do
They're really sayin... I love you
I hear babies cry... I watch them grow
They'll learn much more... than I'll never know
And I think to myself... what a wonderful world 


I wish I can sing this song while looking at the surrounding of the world at its most beautiful state

















WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD!!!
