Resist to Insist!

by Jescel Mae P. Dulay

 

I wonder why we keep on insisting to live on Earth yet have no will to save it. I, myself is troubling to act accordingly in the environment. Though, if we continue to not mind what’s going on, what will be the future of the next generations?

There are tons of pollutions, too many people, too many cars, too many factories and too many carbon emissions. The globe is getting warmer and warmer. The world is in danger resulting to severe weather conditions or catastrophes, crisis of food and resources and the spread of diseases.  Now, we are facing a pandemic, a global public health crisis that we couldn’t even beat since last year.

Do you plan to just sit and watch these alarming issues to grow in front of yours? If so, you don’t have the right to ask for another day to live. Yet everything isn’t over, we can still educate ourselves and fight with grace. Be mindful and take broad actions so we can finally save planet Earth along with its future habitants, the humankind.

Three to Answer

by Jescel Mae P. Dulay

 

People asks a lot of what ifs at some point of their lives. What if it’s the end of the world? What if life exists on planet Mars? What if we can bring back the past or be there at exact moment? What if I was born perfectly? Is there something like that? Well, I guess, not all what ifs are close to reality. In fact, they are unreal, and they are mere random thoughts but what if again, some of them became true?

That’s why I feel like hype in answering three “what if challenges” here at the very moment. And the first question is what if everyone knows what you are thinking? I would most likely be in jail for mentally bullying or harassing every person I see. This will be so epic and chaotic as I can perceive that it is not just me who will be in that kind of situation. Even if we don’t really think badly towards any person, they might misinterpret then you might as well misunderstand what he or she thinks of you or to something and anyone. Moreover, not all thoughts of a person should be in public as it might become unhealthy for the world’s social life.

The second question is what if you will meet God tomorrow?  I would probably lose my senses for a while and keenly stare at him to utterly feel His presence, making sure that I am not dreaming. I have loads of queries for Him actually, but maybe, just witnessing him alone will make me neglect all the worries and obstacles I went through. Similarly, it will make me realize that keeping faith on Him is worthy while slowly bowing my head and body into the ground. It’s a great pleasure to meet him and I would certainly cry, feel saved and safe. I don’t know precisely what I will think nor do. It overwhelms me too much.

Lastly, what if you could erase one memory happened into your life? To be honest, I do not really remember every memory I had so I thought that it will render no effect on me at all. However, as I think of it now, I will say that I might not remember all the details or the entire memory of something happened in me, but the lesson, experience, growth that I acquired from all of it is boundless. I would not be this kind of a girl or lady perhaps if I had a certain memory that I loss and didn’t go through as it is not just about the details, it is more on the personal learnings you will miss.

That is the end of me, answering the what if questions but I feel like it is just began for I got to ponder on some things that made me unlock some deep concepts in the back of my head. Also, whether real or not, every what if challenge has that vibe of making a person ponder more which I think is terrific. Don’t you think so?
