Human Nature

Let's write something other than me and the rock today. It's 25/06/2014, 2 very important day to me... 25th June, is my first girlfriend's birthday... Well, it's not because I still love her deeply, it's because her birthday is a reversed of my birthday. So, it makes it easy for me to remember. Well secondly, it's the day one a great man's live came to an end 5 years ago... The Legendary Michael Jackson. Excuses aside, I just wanna write something today.

Over the past 3 days, our sky has been covered with thick layer of haze from unknown sources. And I started seeing posting on Facebook complaining about the haze... Something just came to my mind instantly, a month ago, almost 40% of the post on Facebook were complaining about the hot and dry weather we're experiencing for weeks.. And before that, 80% of the post I've read from Facebook were complaining about the raining season that lasted for months... How ironic...

So, when it rains... The people misses the Sun and complain about the rain. When the rain stops falling, people hated the Sun and start crying for rain... So, past 3 days, our Sun was covered by haze, and we neither have a drop of rain... And people started asking where's the Sun hiding and why isn't there any rain. And of course, people started to complain about the Haze...

Maybe it's human nature to complain about every damn thing that came into their life and causing them discomfort. Non human  has been living on Earth for millions and millions of years without complain causes no destruction and alteration to the Earth Surface and atmosphere... But ever since Homo Sapiens invaded Earth, things has changed.

The soil was polluted, The atmosphere was polluted, The seawater was polluted, The ecosystem was polluted, and now... Even the atmospheric energy content was also fucked up by the radiation leak around the Globe. And still, non humans has been accepting it silently with no complain....

Sometimes I wonder, if cockroaches can speak, what would be the message they want to deliver to homo sapiens... And I my guess is...

"Dear human,

We've been living on Earth so much longer than your kind and we've been living happily with balance of everything. However, since we shared our land with your kind... you've been destroying every single thing existed and we, non humans are still tolerating your kind.

Dear human,

Your kind has labelled us to be disease carrier and was trying to hunt us to extinction... However:-

During our few million years of living together with other species, we've never know or never seen anything that is non-biodegradable before you created them.

For the past few million years, Our kind and other have never seen any heat that's so hot that can cut through any kind of material or burn them into ashes until your kind invented something called laser and radiation.

For the past few million years, we've never heard anything louder than the lightning until your kind invented something called machines that's capable of moving the mountains and destroying our home.

For the past few million years, we've never seen anything travelling faster than a falling rocks from mountains until your kind invented bullets and guns.

For the past few million years, we've never seen anything non living thing to fly until your kind learnt how to manipulate air movement.

For the past few million years, we've never hunt other species with the purpose other than food until your kind invented Fashion.

For the past few million years, everything our kind is eating has been organic and healthy. And our kind has cause no illness to other species until you alter our food and causes our kind to mutate. And now your kind has labelled my kind as disease carrier and trying to hunt us to extinction.

Dear human,

We've been tolerating your kind for the past few thousand years just because you wrote in a book claiming your kind to be the perfect creation of God and WE, NON HUMAN, including the Angels shall bow to your kind and tolerate every damn problem your kind has created.

Your kind has been blaming every single damn thing about our kind, other species, the Sun, the Moon, and almost everything that you see except your own kind... If you and your kind is so unsatisfied with our home your kind called Earth, please... Get the hell out of here and leave us with peace and harmony....

Thanks.."

Well, I'm not really sure if this is what the cockroaches wanted to tell us... But according to the fossil found, cockroaches is the Oldest surviving species found unchanged in terms of shape and structure that has witness the history of Earth...

We say save the sea, but we dive with Sunblocks and kills the corals.
We buy handcrafted wooden key chain written "Save the Forest"
We organize fund raising event for the animals and wildlife while wearing our crocodile leather shoes
We send out paper templates with printed "Save the Forest"

Maybe it's human nature to be hypocrite and does everything that we've been opposing.

Thank you for reading, if there's any... May God bless you.

Have a nice day ahead.

50 Days after the Finger Injury...

It's exactly 50 days after the rescue of Joc. The last day I actually climbed. It's the longest 50 days in my life. Partially due to not able to climb. Partially missing Joc badly on rock.

In the past 50 days, I've kept myself updated with things happening within my group of climbing friends and her. And I'm glad to know that she's improving in her climbing moves and strength....

Hoever, about one and a half week ago. Joc had a rope burn injury from climbing at Camp 5. It was a quite bad burn... Got her some meds and cream for recovery.... I just hope she'll get well as soon as possible. I assume from now, she've already built a fear of falling within her...

It's a matter of time a climber learn a rope burn lesson and be more careful in future while handling the rope during a climb. Some is lucky enough to learn it through through their friends... Some may not be that lucky and experienced it themselves. In this case, Joc was the example.

It felt painful to know that she's injured. But it's a lesson a climber has to go through and make them one level higher. Again... In this case, she was the unlucky role model to show people a bad example of handling the rope in climbing...

I really want to be there when she needed the guidance... But it was too late to know about the injury after the incident....

So, yesterday... A friend asked me to be there to observe her improvement myself... But i wasn't sure if my return will again bring some kind of pressure to her... And I'm not sure if the pressure is a good or a bad thing. Anyway, I think it's time to give it a try to check if my fingers are OK... So, I repacked my gears and load it into my trunk.

Dawn settles and the Sun rises. And I was ready to face the rock again....

As usual, a cup of coffee in the stall nearby my house... And I started moving to Nanyang... Alone... Upon reaching, I set up my hammock, and lied down for some rest... Looking at the rock face that I've missed for so long. Appreciating every textures on the face that I used to call hand and foot holds.

The day became busy when more people of the group turned up and started climbing...

SO, there you go.... Afer 50 days of complete resting. I was glad that I can still clean Indecision, 6b+ and Few more hangers, 6a+.

And here I am... I'm back for more action...

Thank you for reading... If there is any.... Have a good day ahead.
