2012: ANOTHER SUB PRIME CRISIS

Newton's Third Law of Motion "For every action, there is equal and opposite reaction". How true this law has been over the years and how true will this law be in the future. It is certainly, in the present, showing us that this law is to be treated seriously. "Buy now, pay Later": These words had shattered the world when the sub prime crisis affected everybody. And even now, we are still not out of this crisis. We still feel the heat of the crisis in our daily lives. But one mistake we all are doing is that we think that this crisis is nothing much more than a mistake by the financial regualtors across the world. Well, this is just the trailer of what is going to come. Rightly said by Shahrukh Khan, "Picture abhi baaki hai mere dost" (The real stuff is still left my friend).

What are we doing in the present is certainly going to affect our future. The future of the generations to come. Their generations, if they come. Well yes, some might find this little funny but this is exactly the point I want to make. We are making use of the natural resources in such a bad manner that nothing will be left for the generations to enjoy.

4 aspects of earth: Land, Water, Fire & Air; these have been brutually used by us, exploited by us. We have utilized these to the maximun extent, utilized almost everything, and now it is time to pay the 'debt'. I am using this word 'debt' because this all things are not owned by us. These are provided by the mother nature to us, generations to come. But we have used them to the maximum extent as if these belonged to us. So now when we have used something that didnt belong to us, it is time to pay back to the mother nature.

2012: many people call it the end of the world. I believe them. Not because of the reasons they give, but because of the fact that it is time for us to pay back the debt to the mother nature. But we dont have anything left with us to pay back to the mother nature. So the result: Mass destruction. Like we did, Major policy reforms after the sub prime crisis.

This is a warning signal for all of us. Global warming is increasing, glaciers are melting, the world is seeing things that never happened before. We have to take this warning seriously. Each one of us have to think about our actions. We should act now. We should ask ourselves each day when we wake up, 'How can we make the world more beautiful?'. We should act in such a way that makes the world a much better place to live in than the time we came into this world.

So we have to prove this '2012: End of the world' thing wrong. And what I am trying to say is that we should just not look at this '2012' as 'one year' to live in. Rather we should focus our acts on the Larger Picture and make this world a better place to live in.
