yesterday was the world alert date for global warming and we were asked to off the lights. I respect those who really did it yesterday, and would like to pay a vry high gratitude to the person who start the idea. we have done that successfully. Not only that, the meaning behind the action were also appreciated.
1) some of the people out there said: “if i am aware of, them i no need to do that , because it is just a awareness action.”
–>let me voice my opinion here. Although we aware, as part of the world i still strongly feel that we need to do that. if each of us off the lights, we will contribute to the darkness being created. then those ppl who are nt alert will also be influenced by the darkness night! Somehow we could also help arise the awareness to people we not recognise…although it is just 0.0001%.
2) some say: ” i dont think this is a benefit action, if we want to save the earth, we should do it everyday, not just that hour!”
–> i feel disapointed to the person who said this, somemore she is a profession. i agree if we want to recycle, to save the earth, it must be done everyday, since u say need to be everyday, why dont u also off for this one hour, is also part of everyday?!! why u want to fight for the difference opinions? if other do not do that everyday, but atleast they wil do for just this one hour, it is better than nothing!
3) some said:”why i should off, i am sure the hospital not off the lights and also u see, the roadside lamp is on! u see, the people opposite still on their light!”
–>yes, not everyone will follow. especially hospital, the patients need the current for their disease management, lamp roadside is for safety purpose! that is why if we could, we must off it to reserve the rest for those who really need it or for the time when desperate on it! Doesnt mean that other people nt obey, then we must followtheir step, if we already recognise and weigh the pros and cons.
4) some said:” do u think it really make a changes? it really save the earth? is it significant? you are a science student u should know how seroius the condition now and how to weigh the significant, the P value is definitely > 0.05, which mean not significant at all!!”
–> no matter how serious now, as for me, everyone of us can make a changes. you n me can contribute, although not significant. The P value is just to measure something in group. to those that ur mindset is same as the person number 4, i would like to ask u something. if u think it is not significant, then u can just ignore ur love one if he/she died. it is because the world so big, the population so huge, if died one or two sure not making any difference to the world population, it is not significant at all! dont u feel what I mentioned above was too much?! let think for other people, but not only your own self:) sorry if offended.
this is what in my mind all the while. i understand that there is something unavoidable, we can just try our best and reserve some for those unavoidable one right?! if u forget, dont worry, keep trying, we will reach the success one day…everything come our own single heart, so, you are very significance. let’s LOVE !
