You might laugh, but I have a confession. I have never watched Jurassic Park movie.
And now I'm running a business with my boyfriend, selling a preloved books in instagram, and one of them is Jurassic Park. And since it was a hits back then, well, I thought it'd be worth the shot.
And after reading the novel, I was amazed by the concept brought by Ian Malcolm, (the character). The concept of the very foundation of human being.
A man was saying, that his creation could ruin the ecosystem, and he might destroy the world. Then Ian said, that it was so arrogant for someone to say that he could destroy, or even save the world.
The phrase Save The Earth might've been very popular in this decade. We all know that this place we live in is start to be less comfortable. Either the temperature or the surrounding. The concept of saving the earth is formed as planting trees, recycle, taking public transportation, etc. And the kind of action that can ruin the earth is like illegal logging, pollution, etc. But, what will actually be ruined by those actions? The world, or us?
Ian said that the earth, or the world, is very strong. Long long ago, even the oxygen was dangerous for the creature living on earth. But time flies. Ruination happened for times. New species came, the ones whose sustainable with the condition of the earth. Even after several ruination, the earth still survive. It still recover. Our existence here is just in a blink of an eye for the earth. If we gone tomorrow, the earth won't miss us. It will recover, It will save itself. Like it always did.
All the action we did affect us, as human race. As species who need more oxygen and less carbon dioxide. Then why we use the phrase of saving the earth instead of saving ourselves? Because it sounds selfish, to save yourself. And nobody want to be selfish. Even though selfishness is the very nature of human. Human prefer to do something to help something outside themselves because it sounds good, it makes us feel useful, it makes us feel like we have done something outstanding. While actually, all we did was saving ourselves. For our own good. So instead of calling it responsibility, we call it prosocial activity. That's how we are. Hypocrisy.
I guess being selfish already sound so bad, so why don't we stop being a liar. A hypocrites. Let's do all the good deeds to our environment for the sake of our own selves. For our own survival. For our own good, and stop naming that selfish action as an action to save the earth. The earth need no saving. But we do.
