I am officially mourning for the world that God had trusted to us to take care of.

The picture can't even describe the feeling from traveling through the woods in the first weeks of fall when the scent of summer still can be grasped. The sound of falling leaves, the wind, the sun that shine through the changing leaves, and the sound of the machine. Yes, it was the car. The automobile. The thing that drives not just our lives but also our world. The thing that was driven by fossil fuel that soon will be vanished but "no one" realized about that -yet-. Or at least, not even crossed our minds, that the rising priced of the fuel was not caused only by the slow production of oil in the Gulf Coast, because of the hurricane that destroyed many mines, but because the fact that the fuel has become rare. The Sierra Club mentioned that on each oil mine found, the world would spent double the capacity. America itself, consumed two third of the world's oil production. The world is now spending more than it can afford, and soon we will be bankcrupt, or are we? Perhaps, perhaps.

And, no doubt, every single thing in our life is driven by it, not just automobile, but also farming (widely used pesticide was made with fossil fuel), medical technology, industries, fabrics, computer, planes, transportation that drives globalization (i.e. more profit for the developed world due to the cheap labor of the third world) every machine that made our world more convenient for us.

What would happened if the oil is gone? We have to create another system that would be more affordable for the world, perhaps, using solar energy, that might pushed the world to start the system all over again. And how much would it cost? And can we afford it?

Our convenience have to be paid somehow and somewhere by someone else. It doesn't seem fair but the world is never fair anyway.

I am officially mourning for the world that God had trusted to us to take care of.
