Every day I peruse the papers, page through magazines both general in coverage and in specifics and I still do not get it. It is not normal for a species to continue on in destructive manner definitely threatening its longevity in lifespans at the very least and at the very most, definitely toxic to its continuing existence at all. Certainly, it is clearly apparent that the human species is such a species, ever so busy in engaging all that it needs to place a permanent peril sticker on its life span and expectations.
Turned around and about in its ways of life, it almost seems as if it is attempting to end it. Certainly, to bring it to a terrible point wherein existence will mean living in a time of peril. Of air unhealthy to breathe. Of water limited. The most valuable resource of Earth. All dreams abandoned, cut short. There is simply no way, no machinery, no pathway, no time, to find ways to ameliorate the situation.
This extreme picture of the future is not as far off as we would think. Simply pay attention to all the places on Earth running short of water. So necessary, especially in these times of crazy droughts. Or water that turns tables on humans and becomes a destructive force destroying all before it in massive flooding, particularly flash flooding which can emerge in torrential dangerous existence in the blink of an eye. Chemical mishaps which leave behind scars that poison land which will never host human habitation ever again. Will never be suitable for humans and other species ever again.
The deaths, both immediately and in the oncoming years, which so often arise from carelessness n our handling of situations, in our stupidity of trying to save a penny when the pounds will pour through these scars, is something that never becomes clear to us, or clear enough to sufficient numbers to make a difference. We are dying, impacting negatively of and by our own stupidity and harmful greed. The synergy of the synchronicity leaves behind scars that will never heal, and worse, enable awful consequences we never would have imagined, could have imagined. but they are now coming out. Uncovered through our excesses and deficits.
We are doing this to ourselves, nobody else. If there is more life out there in the universe, quite a possibility, they are not the ones who are inflicting this awful situation upon us. No, we can take that credit for ourselves. We continue to enable almost a clear unimpeded pathway through to the immediate desires and results we wish for, but in our speed and greed, we leave behind much that complicates and will further complicate and endanger our lives.
Certainly, the lives of the younger generations upcoming behind us. It is for them that I am truly concerned. It is exactly what we are leaving behind for them to contend with that strikes me hard in body and soul. Exactly what are we leaving behind for them to live with? To be able to improve if possible. It is not only the physical world and its damage we have left behind that they will have to contend with.
It is also the human condition, in connection with other humans. The necessities of life will not be easily come by. They will be scarce. limited. Judging upon past behavior, instead of cooperating, most probably there will be vicious fighting, each trying to gain and maintain the upper hand. The more difficult, but more helpful and hopeful in the long run, will be pushed aside. Short run methodology will be more appealing, But the consequences will be infinitely more exacting and difficult, adding to the woes soon to be upon us as we meet it in a soon upon us future handicapped by our own follies, added to by willful ignoring of the inevitable that we have made inevitably so.
Simply check out the world and see what is happening. Farmers in the critical area and necessity of raising food for growing populations, who need more land, more advice in dealing with new conditions are ignored. The situation is exacerbated by the selfish greed of those in power, with our pathetic leaders at the head of the pack.
Crazed layoffs. Evil realignments. Personal desires over the needful desires and necessities of the human beings of the world. A growing return and enrichment of opportunities for hate. For bias. And for the consequences of such. To go to mammoth proportions so wasteful, so harmful, so hurtful. The insane and quite frightening pursuit of migrants and immigrants so critically necessary to the economy of the country.
But we would rather herd them, single them out in mass programs of hate and expel them. The glory in the fresh ideas and blood and hands and backs and minds that they provide for us, so cruelly and casually lost to us. To 'win' via these perverted programs and behaviors is to actually lose in a rather awful and permanent manner. The more we persist in this evil awkwardness the more we lose.
Yesterday. Today. Tomorrow.
Will we never ever learn - before it is too late?
