Eco sensitivity for me is a kind of comfort. I am very used to deleting my emotions, misunderstanding and guessing without myself knowing. How can I empathize and feel responsible for taking care of others when I can’t empathize with myself?

Recently there were a series of unexpected deaths around me. Am I taking care of others around me? Am I observing those that establish me? On 23^rd of May Korea’s former president Roh Moo Hyun killed himself. I am living in a world that forces a person like him, who has been fighting and tackling all his life to give up living. Maybe at this kind of time we need to do something for ourself and believe in ourself but it is also important that we find the meaning of living by being awake of our surroundings. If we live to just push through the things coming before our eyes, we might fail to catch what’s standing beside us. You never know when and where your self will to live well alone would be broken apart. And when this will is broken, and nobody’s there beside me anymore, I might turn to give up my life. That is why I want to start right now, to care about my surroundings.

After deciding this, I could really understand the “save my environment – save my people – save myself” By placing my values on eco-friendly life and saving nature, I am starting to be aware of my surroundings. Some might start the other way. Save myself, save my people, save my environment...

In this sense, bringing back the eco sensitivity is a comfort to me. It is a comfort, and could also be the motivation to carry on my living.
