It's been one after another.
I've been learning so many things
within such a short span in time.
From blowing my top
to having a friend and a few adults
enlightening me about the realities of life.
They aren't anything bad.
In fact, I've learnt so much.
From dealing with things in a more mature way
to learning about the responsibility of being an adult.
All these come with one simple attribute -
experience
As of now,
I guess I am just an apprentice of life.
I do feel the change in myself
the more mature way of seeing things.
But only if the people around me feel it as well
that's when it truly matters.
Here I would like to say...
I watch documentaries not to degrade human beings
Many of us are selfish, not all.
There are a few out there, desperately voicing out
among the billions of people on this planet.
If you care, don't question what their motives are.
Because we all fear what we do not know.
But if we all take a step forward to learn and understand.
We could make a difference.
I would like to end this post
with a quote I've watched from the movie Sharkwater.

"I think the problem is, that we don't understand what we are. In essence we're, uh, you know, just a conceited naked ape, but in our minds we're some sort of divine legend and we see ourselves as some sort of god, that we can just walk around the Earth deciding who will live and who will die, and what will be destroyed and what will be saved. But the fact is, we're just a bunch of primates out of control.
We're now in the midst of a Third World War, but this time the enemy is ourselves and the objective is to save the planet from ourselves. There is no hope for the masses of humanity to do anything. They never have, they never will. All social change comes from the passionate intervention of individuals or small groups of individuals.
Slavery wasn't ended by any government or any institution. Women got the right to vote not because of any government. The civil-rights movement, the same thing- India with Mahatma Gandhi, South Africa with Nelson Mandela. Again, it's always individuals. You need those individuals with the passion and the energy to get involved. In fact, I don't know of any governments or institutions that are doing anything to solve any of these problems. All over the world, though, I am seeing individuals and non-government organizations that are passionately involved in protecting ecosystems and species, and that's where I see some optimism that's where results are happening."
