I'm S.R, currently sitting as the Head of Organisations for Comrade, an organisation created by my peers and I to help our ailing society. A few years ago, the heads of this country did not take heed the warnings of several eco-NGO's. They were like those crazy old men with beards and a holy book, standing on top of a crate telling us all that the end is near. They didn't listen.
Comrade is a mix and match of all kinds of individuals who can lend a hand in more ways than one. It is also a non-profit.
What do I do? I shift people around to an area of their expertise where they are needed. An area where they would flourish and create something that would be able to help our condition. The big-wigs are in denial. Just the other day I was talking to one of the parliamentary ministers about the impending food shortage and I was taken aback by his reply. "Food shortage? We are a self sufficient country lah. I highly doubt we'll be having any kind of food crisis. Look at me, I'm eating well!" I was about to blow him the hell out with a tirade of verbal abuse but my phone rang. His people, the rakyat, the ones who never bothered to start their own vegetable garden, were on the verge of riots because of the food rations. Do these people not read the papers? Oh, wait, I forgot, the papers don't show the real world because of stupid media policies.
Just a little note though, other than Head of an NGO, I'm pretty much a bum living on income acquired via smart investments. Anyway, I walked away from an already fuming big-wig but that's how it is in the real world. I was never made to kowtow to anyone if they didn't earn my respect and a degree of admiration, a trait made available by the circle of friends that I keep. The minister is not my friend. He's just someone I picked out of a hat to 'discuss' how stupid he really is. Insane amounts of 'mean' aside, I'm a nice person.
Nature has an uncanny way of retaking what was initially hers. We'll just give her a head start.
