Climate change is a moral issue.

Although I don't side with any political party, this is a brilliant speech given by Malcolm Turnbull MP earlier this week that shows due respect to the science behind climate change and the imperative need to take action.

"The consequences of getting our response to climate change wrong will not likely be felt too severely by us, or at least not most of us, but will be felt painfully and cruelly by the generations ahead of us. And the people in the world who will suffer the most cruelly will be the poorest and the people who have contributed the least to the problem. There is an enormous injustice here. When people try and suggest to you that climate change is not a moral issue, they are wrong. It is an intensely moral issue, raising grave moral issues."

It is quite the long speech, but I would highly recommend reading it, een if only to gain greater perspective on the issues that the world around us are facing with the reality of climate change.

My thoughts, not yours.

But, it doesn't matter what you think, for it can't change the uncontrollable thoughts that constantly stream between my ears. The realities I face are mostly in my subconscious and no manner of explanation or justification will bring you to a sufficient level of understanding or acceptance.

"All our words are but crumbs that fall down from the feast of the minds." (Kahlil Gibran)

This is my plea to you, do not try and bring reason into the discussion. Matters of the heart and, by extension, the subconscious, rarely take notice of reasoning. There is no reason. I have accepted this, and beg of you to do the same.

Falsified truth.

What a great danger we can be to ourselves, 

when we become so accustomed to lying, that 

we even convince ourselves of such untruths.
