Environmental Problem in Indonesia

How will the Indonesian government overcome the national water deficit which is predicted to reach its worst condition in 2015? Why were earlier steps not made by the government?

[Indonesia's water deficit had been noticed since 1995 in a few province and will come to the worst in 2015 if no step is taken by the government]


Water deficit is mainly caused by deforestation which has been happening lately in Indonesia and also the unavailability of natural water storages. Rainwater goes directly to the sea before it can be collected and used because there is nothing to store it.

The government must do something immediately to prevent water deficit in Indonesia. The first thing that must be done is reforestation. Reforestation is believed as one main solution which can prevent water deficit because by increasing number of forests in Indonesia, more rainwater can be stored to be used later by people.
The government can also create more water storages which can store rainwater or mountain river water quite efficiently.

Reforestation and creating water storages are not easy things that can be finished in one night. For creating water storages, it can take months and for reforestation can be even longer.

The government must take steps immediately because from the situation now, it can be said that it's already a bit late and this should not be delayed anymore. Serious attention is really needed.

My Life's Meaning

When I was a child, I thought that grades in school are the most important things and I was also told that I had to be a success man in the future. Since then, I always tried to do my best to always get the best grades and the results of my works were pretty good with a few achievements from competitions which I participated in.

Somehow, something was just not right. I was never really happy by getting better grades from my classmates or by getting achievements for my school. I felt that my life was not really meaningful.

Why? Have I made any mistakes in my life's priorities?

I don’t think so. I agree that grades and achievements are really important for my future. BUT STILL, I’ve realized that they are not the most important things in life. I’ve seen many people around me who are not really concerned about grades and somehow I feel that they are happier than me and their lives seem so meaningful.

What’s wrong with my life? My grades are quite good and I have my friends. Isn’t that supposed to be enough? I realized that I have been missing something quite important.

DREAM

What’s your dream? What’s the purpose of your life?

Somehow I cannot answer it. I feel like I’m walking in a way and don’t know where I am going to. I have never been really happy about what I am doing because I haven’t found the real meaning of my life. I don’t have anything that I’m happy to do because I still don’t know what I like to do and not because I don’t have them. I'm sure that my life will be more meaningful if I have my dream.

I don’t have my dream and I don’t know the purpose of my life for now. But, I know that it is still not too late to start looking for my dream now and looking for what I’m all about. That’s a good thing about life that we’re never too late to start something.

So, what’s your dream? What’s the meaning of your life?

For me, I’m in my way of finding it.
