My Anti-Drug

Just like everyone in the world, i do not just have one anti-drug. I have various anti-drugs, for example running, music, watching TV,  Taekwondo, or going to the park. But my main anti-drug the one that helps me the most when it comes to wanting to escape reality even if it is just for a quick moment is reading. Books are something that I cherish and love with everything in me. Reading has become something I do not want to focus on any problem i have or if i am stressed or mad or sad or feeling any type of emotion that i do not want to feel. To me reading is able to do things that you do not think is possible. They take me away to a place where my reality is nonexistent. Loneliness is cured when i open a page of a book. Thank God for them because they are my company and they bring me comfort. When no one is around to talk to, the pages of books invite someone wander inside a different world. Books and reading bring happiness to my life.

What I Learned from An Inconvenient Truth

I am not the type of person to watch the news nor am i the person to read newspapers or news articles, therefore after i watched this documentary, i am horrified. I have always avoided watching the news the reason begin that i like to avoid reality as much as i can. Not because i want to live in a fantasy world, no. i know that the world is a very cruel but beautiful place. But it is not the world itself that is cruel, it is the people in the world that are cruel to it. An Inconvenient Truth went into depth on what i already knew, the world is slowly coming to an end and it is all because of the inhabitants. When Al Gore was talking about climate change and water level rising, it really struck me how much i have avoided. The information in the documentary was not recent at all, imagine how bad it is now. This whole documentary helped me learn a great deal of things i have avoided. I cannot really say one thing that struck me from the documentary because to me all of it was incredibly fascinating yet horrifying. But if i had to choose, the two scenes that caught my attention were when he mentioned how the top ten hot climate years were in the past 14 years and when he showed the images of what would happen all over the world if the water level kept on rising.  The fact that global warming and climate change is actually killing our planet and we have not done much about it really opens my eyes. The biggest thing i learned by watching this is how much future generations are going to suffer because of this problem. Slowly but surely, global warming is killing the planet. Actually, it is not global warming nor climate change that is killing it, humans are killing the world. And its life is in our hands.
