Don't Look Up

by The Lady in Red

At times I seriously can't digest movies or series which show what is happening in the world because I already feel the real horrors of it.

I honestly respect Black Mirror's efforts on shedding light over how preposterous life has become or is becoming. Where humanity is degrading to a newer heights and technology is just giving newer ways to heighten the horror.

Spoilers Ahead!

Kate Dibiasky discovers a comet which is heading towards earth. By mathematical calculations of Dr. Randall Mindy they come to a conclusion that Earth is doomed as this Comet will cause extinction of planet Earth.

For most part of the story I was just ..

It is a direct hit of comedy on the reality of this world we live in. The fact that I already know that people are bullshit is quiet evident.

Most times when I don't blog I try to contribute to environment as much as possible. I wanted to give mother earth a way to breathe in this polluted and corrupt world.

If you have ever seen 30 seconds to Mars video you will know that many people out there try showing reality to us. It came out more than a decade ago, there are people in the world who give a damn about global warming, climate change, issues which matter so much that its effects have already accelerated.

Leonardo DiCaprio being an actor has also at times rather than hyping about himself on getting Oscars uses the few minutes he got to talk about Climate change.

The fact that there are people who want to silently work on our environment eco system is not enough. There is a story I read not long ago.

This is true but if millions of people who live on this planet contribute little by little everyone can make a huge difference that is what the movie is about.

There is a Ted Talk speaker who talked about making a difference via email. I forgot the story but I didn't forget the context. He grabbed attention by his coworkers, his friends and family about what should be done. A problem which is occurring, everyone congratulated that speaker for addressing the problem but there was no follow through.

We live in a world which tweets and like attention but off camera only few people are actually wanting to do good and what is right.

The movie shows two low budget scientists who discover extinction time before hand, tell it to president of their nation. And thats put on hold and no one gives a damn. They decide to take matter in their own hands and go on live Tv. Not a single damn person takes their reaction seriously because they just don't want to.

They instead care about a musician getting patched up with another. I heard Jonathan Levitt Gordon telling in a speech most things are about giving attention and not about getting attention. What does it mean? It means that for anything happening in the world, one should take a stand towards what is right rather than get suppressed or deluded by political, media, limelight intentions.

In the movie, Meryl Streep is a loath-able character, she with his brother, Jonah Hill don't take it seriously. I feel after Covid, I believe even a developed country like America does have a dumb crowd, there is a video of a women wearing no mask talking about their personal rights. It's like saying that wearing a protective gear is violation of rights because it protects the individual and keeps them safe. They just don't like it because its a bit uncomfortable. I love that The New yorker also called out this stupidity.

This image isn't mine, I just want to share the fact that most of Covid dumb people have thrived.

They found new level of creating difficulties. I have categorised them.

People who think its a hoax while lakhs of people were dead.

People who think this is the end of days therefore they wont wear mask or take vaccine because they want to support it.

People who were anxious because news portrayed covid as a zombie apocalypse level of danger.

People not wearing anything protective for themselves as well as their loved ones and eventually finding them on a death row.

People who believe in god therefore don't believe in science and vaccines. I just want to say to them, as a doctor just because nothing can be done doesn't mean you just hold your hands up and do nothing about it. Believe in god, and believe when he is sending you a boat to rescue you. If you don't take the boat, don't whine if you drown.

Stupid people have disrupted what could be dealt in a better way. Everyone needs and wants to blame something, I worked throughout Covid 2 waves, it was exhausting. People put trash right in your face and say that oh you are a doctor there is no holiday for doctors. Oh doctors get beaten up. We can't do anything about it. Oh there are lack of doctors we will make the burned out ones work more than their minds can take.

World is becoming trash. There is so much pain and no one gives a damn. They just care about themselves, their family, their things and riches. People don't even care about their health.

World is suffering on every level. Food, the resource which is spent abundant on is thrown in trash because of maximum portions or portions which people don't eat.

Water is depleting, most parts of world suffers from drought. Water is a non renewable resource. We as people use unnecessary things like millions of fast fashion clothes. They all land in landfills either burnt contributing to air pollution, bumped on the landfills to create soil pollution and we just increase trash.

The world is collapsing, 2 years ago a glacier in Iceland had completely melted away. People put a memorial for that. I just feel like if maximum people came together. Worked for a cause and stuck to it.

The power of unity is unmatchable but the nations won't come through.

Health sector getting exhausted and burned out. The number of unemployed people increasing. Injustice increasing. Crimes increasing, the level of unresolved crimes occur everyday.

I read about Elon Musk's mission to Mars. Trying to make that a new Earth. I just feel that scientifically meeting the Jestons is cool. Spending millions over whaBut the trash and destruction humans have caused is immense. The ocean which has a lot of depth is polluted with oil, with plastic with a lot of garbage which is destroying marine life.

This is the world we live in, I remember searching for reductions of trash and found a video about a lawyer in Mumbai who took it upon himself to clean up beach.

It brought tears to me how society fails people who try to help environment or what is wrongly happening in the world. People tweeting is bullshit, people who silently work day by day to make this planet better place those are the kind of people whose path we should follow.

The air, water, soil, etc being polluted is man's doing. Chernobyl happened because of Man, the wars wasting lives and causing destruction is man's doing.

Is it too much to ask for people to reduce pollution, come together and fight injustice, fight crime and tackle it. There are people across the globe who use their riches for creating something which will be good for everyone. They receive backlash, get threatened or get blackmailed and death threats is this the kind of world we create to raise our children?

There is a picture which went viral that recycling bins and trash is one and the same. The recycling part is done not by many. Watching this movie unfold is watching reality and it happens everyday and it breaks my heart.

For past whole year I have tried to reduce trash, I used plastic bottles for putting flower in them. I used the vegetable waste and made a compost out of it.

I look around the room, everything is covered in plastic which will be thrown in the land. When I started gardening in my yard, people would openly come and throw tobacco plastic packets when I was working. I would clean it everyday and it would just piss me off.

I read about South Korea's recycling system their government compulsorily makes every citizen to recycle. They have no garbage lying on the street, the people use put their throwing items in their pocket and throw it in the mall or their office, or when they reach home.

We should all take a pledge to help reduce the pain we cause to our environment or the people who are working hard towards betterment for everyone.

Start one bit by bit, buy encourage food which doesn't require plastic wrapping. Grow your own food, learn to plant trees or plants.

Plants have the ability to reduce dust particles or pollutants in air. The movie's intention is to teach us that we need to take action rather than sit and do nothing. Not for fame or anything just to thrive. Animals thriving, birds chirping, no more destruction.
