When we look at the vast sky during the night time, we could find among the numerous stars above, a star that is unique to all maybe it is the brightest star. When you have many friends, there is also one of them that you feel very close. You tend to move closer to him/her but take note slowly because you may collide to each other and that would be a big bang...toink! Anyways the same thing when I was attending a seminar with lots of speakers giving us lots of words and messages but there is one statement that struck me most. Professor Acosta from Asian Institute of Management uttered such word "Loving is about understanding". What does this mean? and how it works for us? He added because you cannot love a person or a thing if you don't understand him/it. Wow! What a beautiful message!
Actually, he was talking about the environmental issues happening nowadays while he faced the future economists of the country. He presented the different slides containing the scenarios of Global warming, pollution, climate change etc. In addition, he specifically concentrates on the Philippine condition. Our recent experiences with too much heat outside and the peculiar appearances and events to the parts of country are the indicators. Philippine as he always said "one of the hotspots". The future of the Filipinos would be dark if we failed to do a better response on the existing problems. The point he was trying to establish is we need to care and love our environment while we are working on our everyday living. How do we do this?
We need to understand our environment. Our understanding is the key to the answers, to the solutions of these problems. Moreover, hopefully it is not only to words and theories but also into actions. Even simple actions is enough to help the problems like recycling or reusing if we deal with plastics usually and renewing perhaps to appropriate companies. The solutions are in our hands. We just have to mobilize our hands by our understanding. Thus, as a member of an organization, a citizen of the country and a public concern of the international environment, we can do something for the good of our planet and the hope of our future and the generations to come. Let us begin to understand so that we can also begin to love. Life is of no sense if we do not know how to love. Show your love, I will show my love and we will show our love and everything would be fine. Right?

"Love is About Understanding"
I want to have a reflection on that qoute learned by the author of the article from the seminar he attended.I really agree to the author's idea about frienship,that in that relationship there is one whom you feel very close to yuor heart. In our life today, people from different walks of life should learn how to understand for in it love comes out and we can share this love to others by way of understanding them. So this two will not set apart for they were link together.Where is understanding is thereis love also.And if we have these we can haelp solve our environmental problwms in our own little ways for it can contribute a lot, eventhough it is not that big, just put in mind that a 100 peso bill can't be complete without the 1 peso.
