The seawall construction in my hometown is still ongoing yet nearing its end. I thought all the people, especially those who are living near the sea would be happy about this idea but not actually. There are some who are complaining about its danger to children who dare to come up and down the steps. That I guess, is the top in list of disadvantages of this seawall construction.
Just last month while visiting my parents, I sneaked out and took a good stroll in the sea. I climbed up to the steep steps of the seawall. Those were indeed dangerous for children to climb up but I didn't think of it that much. Instead, I enjoyed the breeze and scenery. A child's safety is the parents' responsibility. The steep steps of the said seawall will only be dangerous when the parents are careless enough to watch their children. Don't you agree?
Another complain, or the so-called second disadvantage is to have to climb up and down the steps in order to enjoy the sea water, in order to go for a swim. That's why a seawall is called a seawall. You have to really climb up and down unless you have that power to walk through walls.
It is really like that sometimes. People tend to be very ungrateful with new things, with new progresses. I do care about our home (parents'). I don't wish for it to be washed away by waves during typhoons. This seawall, for me is a very good idea and will be of a big help whenever storms visit our area.
I've witnessed a strong storm before that washed those houses away like it was swept by giant brooms. Although no one was seriously hurt during that time but many were homeless. I do hope this seawall will guard the houses in my hometowns especially those that are standing nearby the sea against the big waves.
