Hello, my name is Carlos Romero and I am I sixteen year old high school student from New Mexico. I’m writing you a letter containing a few quotes, ten to be exact. I’m not going to hassle you about what needs to be done in the gulf due to the fact we as a nation should already know what to do. Instead I’m going to just share my personal opinions and believe.
“Laugh as much as you breathe and love as much as you live” no matter what happens in the disaster we must learn from this mistake and not let all chaos break out. The actions we make are made for a reason and to every action lays a consequence.
“One day your eyes will flash before your eyes, make sure it is worth watching” don’t let the gift you have been given (life) go to waste, live your life to the fullest with no regrets and no worries. Don’t stress and don’t look back at what you use to have, instead look forward to what you will have. If life was longer then we would be less happy. It’s short so we need to make everyday worth living.
“The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you can’t do” prove others wrong. I do it every day and I’m proud of it. If I simply gave up because others told me I can’t then my life would be much colder than it already is. Without risks there is no way you would ever know that your life could have been different.
“Those who dwell on the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary in life” look at what we as a species are given; now look at what we are doing to it, what gives us the right to destroy something that is not ours? What gives us the right to take care of something that is ours? Do you think the water in the ocean will last forever? Do you think the trees will stand and try to touch the sky till the end of time? Do you think you will think for eternity? We are not matter; we are just volume taking up space.
“You forget that the fruits belong to all and the ground belongs to no one” so what makes you think that millions of years of mineral deposit are yours? You get paid to rape the land but get a life sentence to rape another human, what makes the land different from a human? It breaths, it gets sick, it has a heart. Rape is rape no matter what angle you look at it.
If we go on the way we have, the fault is our greed [and] if we are not willing [to change], we will disappear from the face of the globe, to be replaced by the insect.” Like a crazy man once told me “it’s only a matter of time before the earth shakes us the hell off and says, oops! Let’s try again” that quote was by Dean Leh, a man that has a lot of potential and power.
“It was a national tragedy. It would not be appropriate to have champagne because of the nature of the event.” Why would we want to pot bottles in a global crisis like this? This has affected all of us and when I say all of us I mean us as life. The humans, insects, the plants, everything. Even after this spill is or can be contained the world will still destroy us or even worse, we will destroy each other.
Thank you for your time and I hope you take some deep thought into what I am trying to say, so without further a due have a good day and do what you believe is right.
Carlos Romero
