Our Old Home

Our old home, our world, the home where our ancestors spent their entire life with all rhythm of life. The home we have been living with our family in, with many optimistic thoughts. The home we live and die. The home, we walk on surefooted and rely on for our entire life. We should take care of our home with love.

This home is not only belonging to this generation. We have to hand it to our new generation with out any flaw. If we find something broken in our home we have to repair them for our children. They have to survive in this home. That is our responsibility, our tradition, which has been happening since the world has begun. We shouldn't forget our valuable tradition. If we do not follow our tradition then it will cause our home to ruin and destroy our generation and tradition.

Today we are developing our home and acquiring lots of equipment to make it more comfortable, but at the same time we are surviving with fear from natural and man made disasters. Many scientists have been researching to cure terrible diseases. They are burning the midnight oil to solve the problems. Our government and many organizations have been making hospitals and schools, providing education and spending millions of money for medication to get rid from diseases. When we see all these good things happening we feel hope for living on the earth.

But, in the other hand, we always have a fear from natural and man made disasters like global warming and developing massive explosive ammunition. Humans are killing humans. Humans are losing the traits of being a human from the other beings. Always trying to obliterate the enemies and stay secure. Seeing these, things the world is becoming a more dangerous place to live.

I think we all who are surviving in this 21st century have a very crucial role to play. We are the fence sitters; we have to decide how our world should be tomorrow, in our children's generation. So, let us save our home from being demolish by natural disasters and man made disasters. Let us fertilize our home with beneficial things. Let us make our world a good place to live.
