This & That with Myself

From my mom,

"You don’t have to work so hard anymore because we don’t need big houses and big cars, it is not good to the environment, we just need enough."

We are seeing people selling their minivans, luxury cars, macho tank like Hummer everywhere in the country now to save their money for something that is more crucial in life, like food.

Under this kind of circumstance, we all know that pricing for almost everything on earth will just keep rising, the things that will decrease in value like property, currency and stock, the only thing that will remain the same is our paycheck.

I actually support higher gas price, maybe only when our fingers are burning and our wallet is empthy, humans only learn that we need to change our life style and live differently.  Global warming, air pollution, ice-free North Pole are just not as powerful as money that will shack up human beings to do something that is good for the earth.

Besides tighter budget for our everyday life, higher gas price brings in a lot more benefit to our environment and our society. We stuck at home and spend more time with family to save gas, we sleep more cause we have nothing to do, we only buy enough of what we need to use, no more wasting, we plan everyday trip to make sure we maximize the gasoline for our car, we start biking, walking, rollerblading , taking public transportation to work.

You plan well for your weekend, so you chose carefully where to go, who to go with. Your trip actually become better in quality than in quantity because is too expensive to make a mistake, air ticket is not cheap, you better make the best out of your trip.

It even makes the lonely city less lonely, because now you stuck at home because everyone want to save gas, not because you can’t find anybody to hang out. Less jerks in our society because they can’t afford to date too many people at one time, is just too expensive to drive around and meet different people. Your annoying coworkers will not have as much time to annoy you because they have to catch the bus.

And the list goes on…

So, are you still complaining the gas is too expensive?
