I know it sounds hypocritical when a person who sleeps in an air conditioned room every night says it but today was/is/will be the day we're supposed to turn our lights and other electronic appliances off for 1 hour. I know that people think it's only for show or other political stuff, that it doesn't really help much or whatever people like to say these days but I think it counts. Awareness counts.
It's also a great way to get a group of people together and talk about things whereas normally they would run along in their little circles, doing their routines. I for one had another deep conversation about religion with my family. Religion is a funny thing because it's never the same for everyone, my family can talk about it like every other thing we talk about but outside of these walls, we are silent because it's a taboo to even bring up the topic. Why is it such a sensitive matter anyway? Why do people have to over analyse things that other people do?
Like earth hour! Maybe we just want to live in a better world, and a better world starts with smaller movements, like having inter-religious dialogues to clear up the air or turning the damn lights off for one measly hour. Why not stop being a douchebag for once? Not everyone has a secret agenda. Maybe this is just the idealist part of me speaking again, but Pride and Prejudice reached a happy ending when they put their pride and prejudices aside.
This is me complaining again.. lol sorry folks! Have a happy earth day! :D
