Ocean exploration

"We ll not know where will our path leads us to. Lets God guide our way and we ll follow wherever our God, Yahweh needs us."

The earth is made up of 80% water. 2/3 is the ocean. I believe that ocean is playing a very important part in our life. It helps to maintain our ecosystem and making our surroundings safe to live and the air safe to breathe. Due to 'global warming' oceans start to absorb the extra carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Today, the rising carbon dioxide level become too much for the oceans to bear. It may be causing problems that we cant imagine.

God created the earth that is covered by water so much. Many of its creations lies beneath the dark blue water. The clear water and tiny creatures living beneath it always amazed me by their unpredictable movement. The cool oceans do not seems to be a good place to live but there are life presented in many different forms, colours and patterns. Octopus can change their colours instantly and even texture of their skin according to the surrounding. They can even pretend and simulate other fishes' and organisms' movement for disguist purposes.

By understanding the oceans and explore more, i believe that we as human would be able to appreciate the nature more. Perhaps, the important of life itself. Humans are always searching for truth and meaning. Could these thing be found through ocean explorations? I believe that by understanding the ocean more, we are able to understand how it works and at least know what is going on in the world of wonders that are often undiscovered. Perhaps one day, these knowledge can be used to save thousands of lives and improve living standards of the people that are earning a living from the seas. Maybe when the passions of the oceans meet the business systems, it can creates a better standard to govern the flow of oceans harvests and exploitations. Perhaps the world needs a better approach to protect the nature rather than saving electric usages.

An awareness is merely a start. The subject that is carrying it out is you. By spending time and money in these ares i think it would be a wise investment as it not only satisfy our interest but bring along the longing to preserve it for the future. Whether the pursue of ocean exploration and knowledge about the unknown world is one of my path or the way i should choose is all in God's hand. What if you got the whole world but loses the most important thing in life, your soul? If it is God's way and I am given the opputunity, I ll go for it. God, let your will be done.

Brother in Christ,
Alex Tam
