The Future In Our Hands

The Future

Have you ever heard about the end of the world (doomsday)? Let me share the list of human predictions towards these issue. Unfortunately, all predictions are wrong. My friend ever said: "There are many faithful peoples in this world, and their prayer will prevent it". Apart from the matter above, in this opportunity I only want to share a video that attracted my attention. The author only give the initial name as "fwywarrior". Click "The Future Of Our World" to play.

This post also inspired by the global issue that we are facing now, such as global warming (climate change), ozone layer depletion (or ozone hole), several animals that was extinct, new disease that appear in human life in this century. Many scientists spend their time in effort to fight climate change. At least we also think to our own grandchildren. What can we do to help prevent Climate Change? Personally many things that we can do to appreciate the scientists effort. If you care about it, click here.

Welcoming Christmas, and Old & New 2008-2009, let us muse the future. Whether this earth has old enough to support our life?

    human can make the world a better place to live, yet human can also have a power and ability to destroy it

    I believe in simple steps that everyone can contribute to save the environment such as save the energy and water, minimize the use of plastics material, reduce the household chemical, and drive less. just like the old saying: big changes start with small steps

    oya mas tikno, I noticed that you like to use the word 'muse'. does it mean to contemplate?

    have a fab weekend:)

    I still feel optimistic about our future. I believe there are many more people wanting to do what's best for the earth and its inhabitants than those who would do harm.

  6. I believe all of the prophecies will come to pass that is because of the wickedness of the people but no one could tell when is that great and dreadful day gonna come but we can see the signs and I agree to what you say, that God will protect those who are faithful. That's why we are urge to prepare ourselves both spiritually and temporally.

  8. Dear Ernita, you captured my mind exactly with your first sentence. And yes..., contemplate the future of our world for welcoming Christmas and new year. Just a little post for sharing.
    ---------------------------
    Dear Grace, I'm sure nobody know, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son. But one thing is sure, if we do not love this earth, then the day will come more quickly. Do not buy a refrigerator (or any cooler) that uses chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) is one of the small things we can do.
    ---------------------------
    Dear Anthony Harman, preparation from religion side is good, but we must also act although with a small things.
    ---------------------------
    Dear Melinda, even the UN has act with UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), and many governments had ratified the Kyoto Protocol. But all does not mean if no support from each of us.
    Congratulations! You have been accepted at Harvard University.
    ----------------------------
    Dear Irtiza104, I respect your choices.
    ----------------------------
    Dear White Shadow, I agree with you, we ought to prepare ourselves both spiritually and temporally.
    Planting trees around the house yard, also a small effort that give big contribution.

    Dear Lyla, thanks for welcoming here.

  10. dear Tikno,
    actually I am agree with the opinion that the future in our hands.
    did you believe that today our world become much easier by the progress of technology and human capability. But beside that we get the consequence of it all. We can see that today (for example) water which is abundant is being rare because of human creation by private this. many of people died because lack of water. another example is the development of nuclear. nuclear is a danger and become one power of the state. and the power of nuclear can destroy a quarter of the world. can you imagine that? or maybe you can see the progrees of our climate.
    here, I means that the doomsday or the destroy of the world of depend on the human, beside the God who decided. And I believe that people is a the one who make the future of universe and earth.
    So, I want to ask of our awareness about it and love our earth and protect it.
    good posting

    I still believe that someday there will be a doomsday that we can't avoid ...
    Everything in this universe always have a starting point (please be noted: the big bang theory...) and an ending point...which we called a doomsday...(almost all of the hollybooks said so) So, don't worry ...it's not a big deal...

  16. Dear Nakatsu Senpai, I agree with you.
    ---------------------------

    Dear Niar, if many people died because of lack of water, then their government must be responsible. Talking about nuclear weapon, it depend on how human to use it. It's Ok for medical purpose. But the MOST DANGER is, if nuclear be used for gaining the dignity of a nation.
    Good comment!
    --------------------------

    Dear Yopan Prihadi, although we don't know when... but one thing that we know is human has the ability to prepare the prevention, so it not come soon.

    Thank you.

  25. Thanks for the comment on my blog about Adi Da, and yes, prayer will prevent this!
    So will action and love, and compassion.

    I think the 2012 myth has got a bit out of hand, and it's not as bad as all that. I think that if we start now, so much can be prevented, but we have to take responsibility, as well as pray.

    I am not very hopeful of my grandchildren living in a nice place.

    I am 100% agree with you that the future is in our hands! But I would give another 10% that GOD holds our future.
    No one could say when the end of the world but GOD Himself.

  32. Dear Tikno, Am i late? Well,It's better to late than never right? We need to prepare ourselves because it will happen someday. But when? We don't know. "If ye shall prepare, ye shall not fear". I absolutely agree with Ernita D. Humans are the most dangerous and destructive. None of the creatures named are destroying the planet but us. We are the only species that kills it’s own sphere. We kill people, kill the animal, environment, destroying the earth----our own home. Without the earth we're are we going to live?

  35. Tikno I found your post as well as the movie very interesting.

    I think our time would be better served living this day. Tomorrow is not promised to any of us.

    We can conserve where it is possible. Love our neighbor while keeping our family our first priority. Live a life that is ethical beyond description. And, be grateful for all that we have and will achieve.

    These are things that bring positive energy to our world. This is an interesting and exciting time to live. We should live it with a purpose of good.

    Another very good post.

Christmas Contemplation When The Bell Ringing

A few days ago, I visited a mall to buy something. The atmosphere was very rousing with Christmas decorations and I believe also occurs around the world. Producers take advantage of Christmas moment to compete and increase sales with tempting offers, such as: discount 20%, 30%, 40%, buy one get one, etc. Parents are busy thinking of what gifts should be purchased, and children imagining of what the gift they will get. Many people calculate their money for the best holiday package. That's NOT wrong! But... when the bell is ringing.... Before: Christmas is the birth of Savior! Now: Santa, where is my gift? Before: That is the beginning of the redemption of our sin. Now: Let's be happy for welcoming Christmas and new year. Before: Jesus has come in simplicity. Now: Let's go holiday ! I'm just imagining the genuine spirit of why we celebrate Christmas has gone. And... in this opportunity, I want to tell you that the Christmas bell resounding the call to the soul to follow t

Chinese New Year 2560 - Gong Xi Fa Cai

On January 26th 2009 (Indonesian time) the Chinese people around the world celebrate the Chinese New Year 2560th (old enough I think). It's sometimes called the Lunar New Year . Following tradition, at the night one day before the first day of new year, all family members gather together for dinner. The chosen venue usually at the home of the most senior member of the family or at restaurant. After dinner, usually followed by giving the red envelopes ( Hongbao in Mandarin; Angpao in Indonesian) from married couples or the elderly to unmarried juniors, and the junior member give respect by saying the hope for health, happiness, and long-aged to the elderly. Prayer at the temples and visiting the other elderly relatives is the next schedules. In Indonesia, I noted that since the era of President Abdurrahman Wahid (also known as Gus Dur), the Chinese culture such as lion dance (Indonesian called Barongsai), the use of Chinese characters and Chinese red paper lantern for decor

Local newspapers had reported that in several places the flood's height is about 40 to 100 cm and flooding over hundreds houses. Schools and shops in serious flood location has been holiday. From obtained news, the flood was caused by the high rainfall, dam water overflow, the river water was rising and was aggravated with the shallow riverbed.
