Oil in your water
Uncategorized
By now most people
have heard about the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. In thinking about
this disaster, two things came to mind: 1) Oil is not a man made
product, its a natural product of the earth. Many times it seems that
when things damage the environment, they are man made products. 2) No
matter how large something is, if something else is added that doesn't
go well, it can cause major trouble. The ocean is made up of millions
of gallons of water with different currents, one might think if
something is added to it, it would just be diluted and not make much
difference.
I was thinking that
these 2 things can relate to our everyday lives. Sometimes we do things
in our life that seem natural or second nature but yet we haven't given
thought to them and they cause problems. Secondly, there are times
when we add things to our lives like a new job, a relationship, marriage
or new friend. These things may not mix well with our lives and
therefore also cause problems. The point of all this is to say, take
time out of your busy schedule to think about the things that are in
your life, whether they be things that have been there for years or are
things that you have recently added. Make sure they are not causing
trouble or have potential to. This simple checkup may save you from a
"disaster".
