I found my soul in the ocean. I love the way the ocean
balances my body and soul when the waves crashes into me. I am me when I feel the
sand beneath feet and the breeze sweeps into my skin. I don’t need anything
when I’m in the ocean. And that’s the reason I keep coming back for more.
I was born to love the ocean. My obsession to it leads me
to keep exploring every coastline. I always look for the ocean in every place
that I’ve been. Luckily I live in Indonesia. More than the half of its
territory is the ocean. So Indonesia is indeed my home. I always remember when
I was in 0 km point in Sabang, the westernmost point of Indonesia. I stood just
in front of the borderless Indian ocean. Graceful yet so mysterious. I feel
like it calls me by the wind. But my heart is already there. And the it goes.
The ocean takes me further, to another side of this archipelago.
One thing bothers me is that I found a lot of people even the
youth litter into the ocean. It doesn’t make sense to me. Young people should
be more aware and take role for greener and cleaner environment ironically still
doing that horrible habit. I even once caught a ship attendant throw a whole trash
on the ship to the open water. I was so mad to him. I tried to warn him that it
was wrong. He lives from the ocean, how could he damage his own source of
living? But he doesn’t even listen to
me. He keep on doing his job. And there I was, staring at my full of trash
ocean with sad.
I can’t get why some people treat the ocean like a giant dump
site. Like the ocean is just a water without a life. Selfish, it’s what they
are. We share everything on this earth and the ocean is the most part of it. I
can’t imagine countless marine animal consume your plastic bottle. And it
happens! Not to mention a lot of fishes found dead due to water pollution
caused by industrial waste even mercury. An extremely poisonous chemical
that is now polluted the ocean and become a threat for marine ecosystem.
Don’t they ever think, the ones who damaging the ocean, life
is a cycle. If you keep littering the ocean it will come a disaster that will
finish the humankind. Climate change is real and the earth is getting warmer. A
polluted ocean will make it worse. Are you a part of the destruction? I hope
the answer is no. Stop being selfish and do good to nature, to the ocean. Because
the ocean is not only about water. It’s a life down there. Start to love the
ocean and it will gives you the best of it. And when you start to love the
ocean you will find your soul there.
