Enviromental Ethics

Yesterday, we had presentations from the remaining groups on ethics. Well, one of the modules we are studying now is Islamic Ethics. But we're studying those from the Western ones as well. Thus, our presentation require us to touch on a particular topic, a current issue and link it with the Islamic worldview. One presentation that was thought-provoking was the one on Enviromental Ethics, from sis Ruqa's group.

Have always been a visual learner, so viewing a short trailer from An Inconvenient Truth before the actual presentation made my hair stand (or bak kata orang, bulu roma ternaik). They presented it informatively. I'm sure in one way or another, it reflects on us, ourselves, our own awareness or collective awareness to our surroundings. Well, like some say, the truth hurts. But then, it is a good point of reflection on us, our duty as vicegerents on this Earth.

Maybe you or I have been taking things for granted. We do things based on what we feel comfortable without wanting to feel the pinch, the struggle. Only thing is, our life is part of our struggle to reach the finest goal for eternity's sake.
