It was yesterday when I wandered around the Camden canal, which locates far from where I am currently living. The sun is bright and flowers are blooming, with how magnificent the view is had me reminisce about the land, river, and cattle in Vietnam, half of my hometown. Yes, I am half Vietnamese, whereas I was born in Hong Kong, and for the same reason, I have two hometowns, evenly divided, Vietnam and Hong Kong.
The canal, joining the Regent park and Camden, which, needless to say, is full of sediments and pollutants, and on that, a tiny land which concluded itself the Vikings, however, is of no distinction with my home, but rather it includes more in its delicate long but thin cabin. It came to my wonder that how often in necessary do they get out of their boat for food and drinks, or they just linger on the boat for the rest of their lives, although for either way it is just another lifestyle among all walks of life. What intrigues me was a reflection on us, the species which live on a bigger land with merely 30% of the entire surface area of earth, whilst the remaining are filled with water. How do we manage to survive on this petite land?
It does not make sense to me until now that our planet is self-sustainable. Does not make sense does not mean I do not support either agree with the nowadays scientific research and findings. Just curious.
Supposedly one day the earth is no longer self-sustainable, what will happen?
I do not intend to give any further imagination regarding this, nor to call for any action to protect our earth so do the environmentalists do regularly, but a question, a question asked by one who was too free to roam around the city on Saturday.
