Good evening Bloggets. It’s heading towards the pumpkin hour
here in little England. The news and friends have told me of the absolutely
tragic nightmare our fellow people, are having not too far from where I live.
A question I shall ask you to ponder over. Are we facing
Armageddon? The battle of the forces, the seasons? The devil and the deep blue
sea and God and the Universe.
More floods in the north of England. When I was a child
leading to adulthood, I never heard of floods other than the bible. As I got
older, there was the odd one. Now, it’s more than once a year somewhere in our
country, people are facing what I can only describe as a very depressing
lifechanging time.
Can you imagine you go to bed then learn your house has four
feet of water in it? Your home is now dangerous. Many reasons of course water
contamination but also electrics. All of your furniture is damaged. Your
cupboards in your kitchen are all full of water. No cooker. No fridge or
freezer, washing machine and you are afraid to turn on a light in fear of
getting electrocuted. You have no
heating. You are told for your life sake you must move out now.
If you are blind or disabled, how would you manage? Hub and
I often worry about this. People with pets, who will take people, and their
pets?
People not only have lost their houses and what is in them,
all memories, but their business’s. now, insurance? Well if you live in an area
that has a so called flood zone title, so, it has flooded before, you can’t get
insurance. So, now what, you may have money in your bank, but is it enough?
What if it happens
again? So, that is if you are fortunate to be able to move back into your house
once it dries out, but more people can’t move back in for not only a week, a
month but over a year. So, what do you do in the meanwhile?
This used to happen
in third world countries, right? Not now. and then in parts of Africa, they
haven’t seen rain in three years. Elephants are dying because of lack of water,
and we have enough to deal with their sad awful situation. Global warming? Yes,
for my American friend Randy, who is also a Blogget, it’s not just nature, this
is happening because of mans greed. It will get worse. And it won’t stop in
other countries. There are fires floods and storms so many more than ever
before. Our world has been here for a very long time and this has not been seen
before and if you live in a country where you have not seen such disasters, you
are so lucky, but it’s coming unless we do something now before it really is,
too late.
I was talking with my lovely Husband last night about
humans. Saying how greedy we really are. How we are not happy with our own world,
but we have to thieve from other planets. I mean, we are bringing water from
planets and rocks too. We are not happy wit taking from our countryside,
killing animals, our forests and jungles, but our skies and seas as well as our
rivers. We dig underground. What is wrong with humans? We are the poison of
life. thievery, thugs who pilfer for no other reason than greed. Do we really
need gold? As for Coral, it’s dangerously low in Australia. We are removing
more than is growing and in Australia they are coal mining which isn’t what we
need in this day in age. People in our neighbourhood have more than one car per
household. There is one family I know, a family of four, there are four cars
for that one house. I was coming back home last week with a friend the traffic
was so bad, I asked her how many people were in each car. She replied one in
most of them. It was bumper to bumper. And America, do you really need enormous
cars? Your gas is not expensive so I guess driving is easy for you, but your
gas is suffocating our beautiful planet. Lights in our shops at night when the
shops are closed, really? And, do we really need heating on in our shopping
centres? What is wrong with putting on a
coat.
If we could reach up to the stars and pull them back to
earth, we would. If we could chop away at the moon and bring it back to earth
we would. No moon, no world. Why put such a high price on our moon? Our earth
is so precious. We are so lucky as humans. But we take life for granted. Do you
really need that light on? Can’t you turn your heating down a little? Do you
need you’re a.C on so high? Are you able to pop to your shop by foot? Do you
really need to take your car?
We are building more and more houses and shops stealing from
the Greenland. Removing grass, trees. Making floods easier to rob our hard
earned lifestyle. We are removing grass from our gardens and putting in place
concrete and slate/gravel. There is nowhere for the rain to go to. No soil is
left.
A lot of people are eating less and less meat. This is great
for so many reasons, but also so much better for our environment.
Can our children save our earth? Or, will it be our children
who go to the next planet and start all over again with brutal battles living
in fear and once again realising that we have not learned any lessons in this
world, this life. and what could our world have been like if not for greed. If not
for evil. Deprivation is a word that I believe must be in our genetics. But every
now and then, I come across an angel. A good kind person. Just like I did
yesterday. So, why can’t we have this beautiful world for those people and all
the people who have no respect for what we have been gifted, let them go off to
Mars or somewhere!
