The Beautiful Aftermath.

In 2009, I have tasted far more failures and rejections than success and triumphs. I say it's just a fair act of God, to keep my head from growing too big. And of course, it's true that we learn so much more when we fail. Not to say we should have done better. Should have KNOWN better. Of course, on hindsight, we seem to be able to SEE everything. But when we fail, we mop and whine, and true friends will be there to hull u away from the morbid drowning pool of self destructions and self-pity. They'll be there, knowing that you screwed up bad, they'll say, let's do an After Action Review. Let's lay out the whole project and point the blame to the correct parties. And gently, nudge you to the correct battle position, ready for the next fight. And of course, there's so many things which I could have done, better.

I think i did quite a bit trying to change the world. The world, is of course made up of people. People around you. I have burnt a few bridges down as well. Through some harsh acts of stupidity. But the world - is not a perfect place. Mcdonald's will continue to harm our children's or even grandchildren's bodies. Dunhill will continue to make cigarettes, and of course - British American Tobacco is here to stay. The point is - we have choices. Like what was being said in Hellboy, it's not about where you came from, or how your life ends, that determine if you're a man, it's the choices you make.

It's funny to even think about how my guy friends wonder, what's so bad being a 0. Of course there's nothing bad. There's always a choice. You decide. You want to be a zero, or a one, or quarter or whatever, it's you. You have the responsibility, unfortunately.That is what making the world go round. The choices we make. Irrational and stupid consumer behaviour drives the economy, fueling the greed and wrong perception of individuals. There's nothing wrong with that either. We choose to be ignorant of a lot of things in life.

A man knows where he's going, where he came from, and every move he makes seems calculated, and precise, and he's not putting anyone around him at risk. He takes kontrol of his life and not whine at work. We have seen a lot of zeros around. Those converts are not supposed to be. Due to the environment and the upbringing, we sadly see a lot of lost souls questioning the very meaning of their own existence. That's pretty saddening.

We have listened to so many great great songs, watched so many great movies. We were also hungry at the next TED video, so desperate for another round of motivation filled syringe. We collect all the quotable quotes, those that changed our lives, and list them all, and pin up on the wall, so that we can read it, whenever we feel low. We bookmark all the great websites we have seen, so that we don't lose it, so that we can go back to it again. but we don't do that for Earth. Seemingly infinite supply, right? We never thought of preserving it for the next generation. Hopenhagen is a good start. But my mother couldn't care less. I think it would take another 50 years to reach out to half the 6.7 billion people on earth, so that they give a shit about their earth. Our earth. When will they start to care for Earth like the way they care for their own belongings? Just because they didn't pay for it, is that why they don't give a damn about it? Time to tax em when they're born.

We're not doing enough. We're too relaxed, giving ourselves too many excuses. The people around us are not helping much either. They too are hiding quietly in their own 'lives', couldn't care shit about the things happening around them. They're trying hard to improve their living standards, trying to be happy. Keyword : try. They will never be. The game of Going Green for Earth can't tolerate these people. The 'people' have to stand united, to understand this problem, and exercise the Going Green Campaign like religion.

Hope is one thing. Doing is another.
