The World is What We Make It

This picture is absolutely breathtaking. When I first saw it, I paused the video and stared at it for a good five minutes. When I observe the picture, I try to imagine myself being in this place. The scene is stunning and this is what our world should look like. Every where we go we should pass by scenery like this, but because of what we are doing to the environment, beautiful scenes like this one will become non-existent before we know it. There are some places in the world that emanate beauty like Punta Cana, a resort I went to in the Dominican Republic. The water was pure blue and the place basically looked fake; that is how gorgeous it was. The way we are treating our world is disgusting; we pay no attention to what consequences our actions have. The consequences of our actions will have devastating effects. We will not be able to go to certain places with our family and friends and be stunned by the beauty of those sights. Our children won’t be able to see green trees or vibrant flowers or a clear, blue sky. This is not a life we want to live in; a life with no beauty, a life with no nature, a life with no happiness. Life is full of surprises and full of sights that take should take our breath away like the scene above, but if we keep up our habits, there will be no such thing as the beauty above or any type of beauty at all.
