Heal The World
Posted on July 8, 2007
Heal The World
Written and Composed by Michael Jackson
There’s a place in
Your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could
Be much
Brighter than tomorrow
And if you really try
You’ll find there’s no need
To cry
In this place you’ll feel
There’s no hurt or sorrow
There are ways
To get there
If you care enough
For the living
Make a little space
Make a better place…
(Chorus)
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough
For the living
Make a better place
For you and for me
If you want to know why
There’s a love that
Cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares of
Joyful giving
If we try
We shall see
In this bliss
We cannot feel
Fear or dread
We stop existing and
Start living
Then it feels that always
Love’s enough for
Us growing
So make a better world
Make a better world…
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough
For the living
Make a better place
For you and for me
And the dream we were
Conceived in
Will reveal a joyful face
And the world we
Once believed in
Will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep
Strangling life
Wound this earth
Crucify its soul
Though it’s plain to see
This world is heavenly
Be God’s glow
We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart
I feel you are all
My brothers
Create a world with
No fear
Together we cry
Happy tears
See the nations turn
Their swords
Into plowshares
We could really get there
If you cared enough
For the living
Make a little space
To make a better place…
(Chorus x3)
There are people dying
If you care enough
For the living
Make a better place
For you and for me
There are people dying
If you care enough
For the living
Make a better place
For you and for me
You and for me (x 11)

Today is one of the rare times that I’m blogging something meaningful. So please read what I got to say, think about what I have said and perhaps just appreciate what I got to say and make a difference today!
Have you noticed the changing weather patterns lately everywhere that was reported by the media and probably experienced by you and or your families or relatives? Earthquakes, freak waves, erupting volcanoes, typhoons, heavy rains, flooding, landslides, snow, cold, heat, wildfires, droughts, all in all, a climate change. This is happening all around the world.
The recent earthquake and subsequent tidal waves in the Indian Ocean have caused many to wonder why God allows such disasters to burden the earth. Is there any reasonable explanation for these events that respects the concept of the benevolence of our Creator?
Taken from : Cristian Courier
Why are these disasters happening more frequently now than they did in the past? Is this due to the fact that the Gods are angry at how we are “up keeping” the Earth? Or is it Mother Nature’s way of saying “You human scums are loitering my used-to-be beautiful Earth!!”
People say that humans are the most intelligent being on the face of Earth because we have the ability to think and do what we want; know the right and wrong; are able to do things other beings are not able to do; we even have opposable thumbs!! Yay thumbs!!!
So if we humans are so superior, why is it that we tend to be destroying more than we can afford to destroy? At the beginning of time, we were allowed to survive on this Earth by living off the fruit of our natural surroundings, the clean clear water running in the river and the will to survive!
But sad to say, humans became greedier and greedier as each day passes by when knowledge came into grasp. People started building machines to help them be more efficient in life; houses to keep them warm and safe and factories to produce items, gadgets and food to help them through life. As time passes by, our greed grew and grew and we find ourselves chopping down trees in forests to make way for the human population and to build more buildings to sell and make a killing; to make tables, chairs, paper, books, matches and so on. We built more and more factories; factories that secrets out waste in the once beautifully clean and clear rivers; puffs dirty smoke in the once clear blue sky. Built machines that not only pollutes the air with it’s fuming exhausts and the noise it creates leaves no peace for the animals. Soon, animals and nature itself grows smaller and smaller. “This is the life!” we thought. But we were wrong. We started noticing that the air we breath have now become too polluted to breath in, the water too dirty to drink from and the city overrun by human creations causing every kind of pollution humans can think of…
“Regret” we thought, was too late. We have already in our minds condemned the Earth to hell and believing that the end was approaching. But what we didn’t want to know was that we can do our part today and make a difference to slow the damage on the world. Instead of using petroleum, switch to solar; instead of air conditioning, use the fan; instead of littering, use a garbage bin; instead of driving, use your legs to walk or switch to public transports.
Do your part today and keep the future save for our children and the future generations. Teach your kids to love Earth and do their part to protect and preserve. Without Earth, we would never have been born, never have met, and never have blogged!

There is an old saying. Our children don’t inherit the world from us, we only borrow the world from them.
At the end of it, just as much as there are things wrong with this world, there are also people in this world willing to make those wrong, right again.
That’s why there are things called Blogathon and this year I’ll be joining that again to make a different for what I believe in.
I think you meant OPPOSABLE Thumbs dear, not DISPOSABLE… hehe.
It’s a sad and indisputable that humans have been harming the environment for centuries. Too late to reverse what has been done. I saw an ad sometime any yrs ago once, asking about the meaning of life. Plants live to clear the air and serve as sustenance for herbivores. Those animals in turn crap and make the soil fertile for more plants while becoming food to some carnivores. Humans… All we’ve done is damage. But being the most intelligent beings on earth, we have a CHOICE. Humans are the only ones who can CHOOSE to keep damaging our home or to save it. Yes we keep making all the wrong choices… more machines… more air conditioning… more computers… more gadgets… more more more.
I know for a fact that I’ve become totally dependent on my computer… and I’m not sure how to live without a fridge. I don’t own a car, I can walk most places. I can choose to read instead of watch TV… but when you get down to the nitty gritty… Machines print those books!
There’s no end to it is there? We each do our “little” bit to help the world, but there’s no reversing the damage done. All we can do now is help slow it down.
Mother Nature has its limits to the abusive actions of human kind and is revenging with rage. How long more can she have the patience to tolerate the greed of human kind? Humans are takers and not givers. Most her resources have been drained. Even the ozone layers have been thinned. Heatwave struck those places with lots of rain and vice versa. Who is to be blamed but humans themselves.
Having the awareness amongst the new generation is a good idea but what about the present generation? They still have the ignorance of protecting the world they are leaving in.
Haze problem never stop? How could they let the atmosphere become so tarnished with smog? Clogged rivers with chemical and rubbish. Illegal timbering, etc. Don’t you think Mother Nature is planning to wipe out the whole human race to be reborn again? Humans better think wisely now on the consequences of their actions before it’s too late.
Edrei :
There are people willing to change the wrong to right. It’s true that every little bit counts and this also applies the other way round.
I have thought of doing the blogathon too but I have classes that day and can’t do it every hour =/
Bell :
Hahaha yeah!! I was thinking it sounded wrong so thanks Bell! The cycle of life is sadly being taken for granted as humans are being more and more obnoxious thinking that it’ll sort itself out. And again I say, every little bit from those aware helps.
PS : I also cannot live without my computer!
Criz :
I didn’t say don’t teach the now generation to start, in fact, I encourage it! When the time is upon us, regret is no longer an issue, actions speak louder than words in this case.
