In the sphere of man's relationship with others, God and the world, he has to wrestle with elements such as his limitations in a multitude of ways and on one hand his feeling of boundless in desires and summons to a higher life. More often than not, he does what he should not does not do what he should.
We have dreams and aspirations which they can't take away from us. We have a vision of a better world- a better place to live in where there is respect of every person's dignity.
We should be liberated from any constraints and unjust oppressors. We should not be hindered from our development in accordance with our culture and way of life. We should be liberally and reciprocally become the principal architect of our own social developments. We should be able to cooperate and socially involve for the attainment of the common good on an equal footing with other people.

Responding to Climate Change
" Once you damage the environment, it will take a long period to recover. " ~ Dalai Lama, Tibet's exiled spiritual leader.
One of the reason why we are now experiencing climate change is because we are not taking good care of our environment. We continue to do such things that can damage it. Birds cry for they are doomed to die. The Asian Development Bank reports that the Philippines has the worst record of forest preservation. About 97 percent of its forests have been logged; and more than 50 percent of which is believed to have been burnt and cleared through illegal logging.
What would become of humanity now? Doesn't a forest of trees breathes in carbon dioxide and breathes out oxygen humans need to live? If trees didn't breathe, could humans do? They could. But not for long.
With our awakened consciousness and concerted efforts, we can help boost Mother Nature back to her grandeur and splendor. We are one people, one planet, one earth... We must remember that we are much closer to each other.
