when we are who we are, which is young, we wanted to do everything. Save the world. We condemn the all the misdeeds in the world and associate ourselves with the movement of getting it right on track. Our spirit lives through it. But as we grow older, those things, the rights of animals, the environment, human rights, illiteracy, we condoned them because we have a more important mission: to survive.

We still care about them, and often express our support. But we do our things and let them be done by other people. These 'other people' often have their own lives to live too. If you watch the Peta video, they are bunch of miserable people. They don't look like they could be in the cover of magazines. Nor do they wish to be. I admire these people for what they believe, and their singleminded determination. They make themselves remembered. How many youth die trying to be models and how many of them had their names recognized? Have you heard of Green peace? Or Amnesty International? The Red Cross?

I know we cannot save the world, it's meant to be. But we can change what matters to ourselves. Should we pull up our socks and change the course of our survival to a fight? A fight to what we believe is right. Let's not urge people to stop buying environmentally hazardous products. Let's educate them about the impact. But first, let's educate ourselves. Be aware of what is going on around us, the cause of our complain to the heat and homeless people's stench.

But here's the thing. Most people tend to speak louder than they do. Let's not be them. Let's do things silently, and let people observe that we do it because we love it, not because we're forced to do so. Prejudicial judgments will go away once they acknowledge that we live our lives that way because we choose to, not because of what we're deprived of options.

Surely, I'm not denying myself from being a consumer, hedonist, etc. More than often, I don't care whereabouts of my products are made. I am still educating myself. I haven't stopped supporting consumerism because I still purchase from them. But I'm educating myself on what matters the most to me: education. I can't be a hero who save the world. But I live by my cause. So pick your cause today, hope for a change. Better yet, be the change you want to see in the world. Maybe one day, we can be the cause of more changes. ...
