What can I say? ; 1st

Well... My friend asked me to comment about "Should contraceptives be talked openly?".. So with much "pressure" ( I don't mean it's pressuring to share my views ) , it activated me to think about "What can we share outside the public?"

There are many sensitive and not-so sensitive issues we want to talk about but yet cannot due to the acceptance of one's mind. Meaning what we want to share to others may hurt and disturb one's environment when they hear about that certain topic.

I personally get affected when I hear about religion. Why? To be frank , I am a person who's spiritually or thoughtfully weak where I can be easily shaken or shift because of what people say to me. It's not because that my faith is weak but rather about what views people would place on me. I get easily affected by what others say to or about me. But let's not go to that far.

My point is , what people shares in public? Can we really just throw out our voices anytime anywhere?

Now let me comment about my friend's question. We know that many people have different views about contraceptives. Whether it can be shared aloud , I may not know. To me , I have grown in a manner that I have learned about the outside society through the books. As in the text book or school books. The term contraceptives came about when I was 15. So I assume here many people already known about this. So I too would like to ask back , "Why not?". And I strongly feel that it should be talked about even more because many teens these days fall into lust early. Well... People back then also had sex early but they were married. So it was not shocking to hear when someone get pregnant in the village because many get married early. But just a few decades before ours , people cannot accept if a girl gets pregnant if she does not have a ring on her finger ( Obviously I meant that ring for marriage ). Why? Even with the existance of contraceptives such as condoms , diaphragm , and many others , people still fail to appreciate that object lying around in every 24/7 shops.

People won't know about it if no one talked about it. Yes , we can quietly whisper to one's ears but does every community ( e.g. family ) would want to talk about it? They are more enforcing a child to not do it , after all , they want to protect their children , hoping their future will not be ruined because of the arrival of another life. I'm not sure about some countries but in here , they teach this sort of thing in schools and national service in order to prevent anymore unwanted pregnancies. There is also the wish of reducing the number of HIV ( sexual transmitted diseases ) cases. And I believed that knowing that there is such thing called contraceptives helped many to journey on their lives without additional burden until when it's time.

Besides that , I find learning from streets or talking about it in discussions actually helped us to be aware even more. We tend to remember what we talked about during informal times rather than formal such as schools and awareness campaigns. I mean , I am more interested about what a teacher shares to us much more than what a teacher teaches us.

So once again , why not?

The Global Warning of Global Warming

Yes... I know it's a pretty old documentary type of movie ( An Inconvenient Truth ) , but just watching a little bit of it makes me wonder , is it really that bad? Will our Earth be affected that much? Sea level rises , Hurricanes , Land Cracking ( Drought ) , Flood... It's ridiculous... How will we survive this catastrophe which is happening and affecting us indirectly?

It's a pretty good example that Al Gore used which is a frog jumping into a pot of hot water , it will quickly hop out once it gets in knowing it's well.. hot. However , if a frog jumped into a water which is in a lukewarm state. It will stay there. But when we turned on the stove , the water's temperature will definitely increase and the frog will take it's sweet time to react since it does not gets hot immediately. When the water turns into a ridiculously hot state , the frog will need to be removed instead.

And with many evidences , researches and speeches about global warming , but yet , why mankind are not putting much effort? Now I'm wondering whether it's true when he said certain people reply with responses like "So?" or "It's a normal cycle. It happened before.". True. People can say that. But if we know the sources are from us... Don't you think we can make a difference? I mean , people are actually preferring the thought of leaving it be when they can actually make something better?

And I know I sound rather hypocritical here , because here am I , watching the school burning leaves and just , watching it. Where I inhale the smokes produced through the burning of the leaves? Why don't I do something instead? But if anyone out there thinking about me as this , don't you think you can do something instead too?

I am not here to comment about this although I do sound like commenting about this.. But I'm actually here to point out what are in the minds of the people this time. I mean , the weather's getting hot... Even at night. But I just can't believe my ears if I've heard someone saying "So what?"
