Thursday, November 21, 2024 is World Philosophy Day: I didn’t want to go to the gym today because I wanted to work on my novel. I also plan on going to an evening event at the university. I arrived at 5 pm, and by 5:30pm, we entered the classroom with one big screen in the front of the class, and smaller screens on the sides, so that everyone can watch the films from wherever they are sitting. We ate pizza, salad, and popcorn as well as a bottle of water before the two short films.
Taking Care of Wildlife, Nature, & Earth
This evening, around 4:30pm, I drove across the street on the UCI campus towards one of the new buildings, Susan & Henry Samueli College of Health Sciences, for movie night. They showed two films about nature. The first film, Heart of the Sea, is a short film about Bermuda, ocean, nature, and animal life, and the need to take care of nature and wildlife for everyone so that animals and people can coexist in peace and harmony together without any conflicts, chaos, disasters or deaths.
The second film, The Year the Earth Changed, is a one-hour 2021 film about wildlife, displaying positive changes during 2020 because they were able to go out in peace, reproduce more offspring, and grow their population. They were able to find food in nature because humans were in lockdown, wearing their muzzled masks and confined 24/7 inside their prison home, similar to inhouse arrest inmates. The wildlife looked cute, roaming around peacefully all over the land, including the deserted downtown areas, mostly to seek food at areas they would never have had considered because it was overpopulated with murderous humans and automobiles.
In some countries like India, the people grew plants for the elephants to eat at a specific area for them. The Indians and the elephants were able to live together in peace and harmony. By taking care of the wildlife, since they were the natives of the land, the humans were able to live with the elephants and the elephants had their own space to eat greenery.
