In its Place We are Entering a Period of Consequences."
-Sir Winston Churchill
remembers attending school debates, There is a common classic debate: Times make heroes, or heroes make times? In fact, no matter from the perspective of "Marxist-Leninist philosophy" or traditional Chinese philosophy, these two sentences complement each other, both are right and wrong. Times force heroes, and times awaken heroes, and heroes are people who have a vision beyond ordinary people. , just through his own words and deeds, to wake up more people, so as to create a new "time trend". These heroes with unusual vision, in an age when people are slowly abandoning violence in favor of the power of knowledge, I would rather call them - prophets.
Prophets accepted extraordinary knowledge and wisdom, but at the same time they had to bear extraordinary pain, because they often saw a vision that most people in this era could not see, and their sense of responsibility made them unable to keep their mouths shut, and when they said When they came out with truths that were often proven decades or even centuries later, their contemporaries persecuted them in every possible way because they couldn't accept them. This is the fate of the prophets, this is the essence of the human world, this is the law of nature, when these leaders die, when those who persecute them also die, when they follow the same law and rot and turn into the same loess, time has passed. Year after year, one day, the living people suddenly think: So he (she) is right, so we should have done what he said a long time ago!
Maybe history really keeps repeating and repeating. Some ordinary people nailed Jesus to the cross, burned Bruno alive, put Ma Yinchu into the cold palace for 20 years, and scolded Li Yinhe. The prophets have endured, are, and will continue to endure the torment of the "majority," because the "majority" will always be conservative, and that's the price of wisdom, it's the price of critique, and it's going to be The price to be remembered forever.
Talking about the "prophet" for so long has made me feel like a magician. In fact, I praised the heroes of the times because of the movie "An Inconvenient Truth". This movie made me almost cry, because of the cruel truth, For the future doom, the prophet in the film: Al Gore.
Al Gore Democrat, vice president of the Clinton administration, environmentalist, ran for president in 2000, with more national votes than Bush, but because of the electoral system. Lost the presidency.
Before watching this film, I thought that Al Gore was just a speaker, but after watching it, I realized that this film connects the global climate crisis with Al Gore's life course, and tells us how he devoted himself to environmental protection. And why are you fully committed to the fight to reverse global warming? He talked about how he changed after his 6-year-old son was in a serious car accident, how he traveled the world and gave nearly a thousand speeches and still felt frustrated in the end, and talked about the pressure he received in the confrontation with the oil conglomerate , talking about how he remains hopeful about the future of America and the world.
What a movie this is! It used a lot of data and pictures to hand everyone a complaint about the blood and tears of the earth. It also used old photos and personal stories to tell us the hardships of a hero of our time who ran and shouted. But even if what is said is the truth, it must not be preached only on the altar, because the only thing everyone cares about is: the economy! Will reducing greenhouse gas emissions hit the economy and make me suddenly without a job? Al Gore gave a strong answer to this question, saying: "In recent years, car companies that focus on energy saving and environmental protection, such as Toyota and Honda, have significantly increased their market share, while ours, accustomed to producing SUVs Companies such as GM and Ford, which wait for gas-guzzling cars, have suffered fiasco.” “Industries related to environmental protection and energy conservation will not only not reduce employment rates, but will also create new employment opportunities.”
Al Gore says in the film, "We can't stop doing the right thing just because it's difficult." Which brings me to that famous JFK speech: "We chose to go to the moon in this 10 years, we decided in this 10 Going to the moon in the middle of the year and reaching other goals, not because it's easy, but precisely because it's difficult." The
right thing is always difficult, so people who do the right thing are respected.
"Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is a moral issue." Let's always remember this saying
