The earth is our home
Posted on September 17th, 2009 No commentsThe earth is our home. We must take care of it, for ourselves and for the next generation. This means preserving the quality of our environment.
Consume, consume,consume! Our society is consumer oriented—dangerously so. To keep the wheels of industry turning, we manufacture consumer goods in endless quantities, and in the process, are rapidly exhausting ournatural resources. But this is only half the problem. What do we do with manufactured products when they are worn out? They must be disposed of, but how and where? Unsightly junkyards full of rusting automobiles already surround every city in the nation. American s throw away 80 billion bottles and cans each year, enough to build more than ten stacks to the moon. There isn’t room for much more waste, and yet the factories grind on. They can’t stop because everyone wants a job. Our manufactured products in ever-increasing amounts. Man, about to be buried in his own waste,is caught in a vicious cycle.
It wasn’t always like this. Only 100 years ago, man lived in harmony with nature.
There weren’t so many people then and their wants were fewer. Whatever wastes were produced could be absorbed by nature and were soon covered over. Today this harmonious relationship is threatened by man’s lack of foresight and planning, and by his carelessness and greed. For man is slowly poisoning his environment.
Polution is a “dirty” word. To pollute means to contaminate—to spoil something by introducing impurities which make it unfit or unclean to use. Pollution comes in many forms. We see it, smell it, taste it, drink it, and stumble through it. We literally live in and breathe pollution, and not surpuisingly, it is beginning to threaten our health, our happiness, and our very civilization.

Happiness
Posted on September 17th, 2009 No commentsEven in the poor time people can still feel happy deeply. As I always remember that I had a bowl of hot rice with a spoon of lard and soy sauce, sat at the stone inscription out of the door and tasted the delicious odour of the rice with lard, which every granule of the rice was giving out the sweet smell of happiness.
Happiness of life doesn’t lie in one’s environment or status or substaince that one enjoys, but lies in how one’s soul corresponds with life. Therefore happiness is not decided by external stuff, the poor have the poor’s happiness while the rich have the rich’s happiness; the situated people have their happiness while the
petty people also have their own happiness. In life, everyone has laughters as well as tears, everyone has both happiness and trouble, and that is the truth of life in the world.
When love irradiates our cold hearts like bright sunshine we will realize that love itself is a sound of trembled chord, a kind of dispersion of potpourri, which is lasting, warm and passes from one person to another. These are warms drifting from deep spirits of ones who give love, they wake up the tired footprints and cold hearts in the spirit world, and then those who receive love will use the warms to irradiate another heart, though sometimes ther’re so week.
If you are only a drop of water, but you refract the colorful sunlight which let children see the most beautiful colors in the world. See, you are so important to children. No matter how pretty or small you are, you can still write the fairy tales of life as well as create miracles in your own field. Maybe, it is because of you that it adds a color to the world.
