MAN Vs EARTH: How we've single handedly destroyed our own planet
Earth
Fun fact; Planet earth is 4-5 billion years old and man kind is about 140 thousand years old.
Now let me put this in perspective, if you condense the earths lifespan into 24hours, then we will find that we have been here on this planet for 3 seconds. I know this might not make any sense to you at this point but just keep reading.
We have been on earth for just three seconds and look what we’ve done. We have modestly named ourselves HOMO SAPIENS meaning WISE MEN, but is man really so wise? Smart, yes we can be smart but not too smart for our own good.
With our smartness we have split the atom, yes we have built clever machines that navigate the universe in search for new homes but at the same time those atoms we split created nuclear warfare and our quest to explore the galaxy rejects and neglects the homes that we have here now, so NO! that cannot be wisdom.
Wisdom is different. While intelligence speaks, wisdom listen and we have willingly covered our ears to mother nature’s screams and closed our eyes to all of her help wanted signs.
Wisdom knows that every action has an equal and an opposite reaction, so if we were wise, we would not be shocked when we see storms that are stronger than ever before. Or more drought, more hurricanes, and wild fire than ever before. There is more pollution than ever before, more carbon, more trees cut down than ever before at an alarming record pace. We have increased the extinction of animals by one thousand times the normal rate. In the next ten to a hundred years, every beloved animal character in every children’s book is predicted to go to extinction, Lions gone, Rhinos gone, Tiger, Gorillas, Elephants, Polar bear gone. IN 3 SECONDS.
Earths destruction
Species that have been here longer than us will be gone because of us in this 3 seconds.
In an existence shorter than a vine video, we turned the circle of life into our own personal conveyor belt.
We were given so much. The only planet in the solar system with life. I mean, we are one in a million. I don’t want to get too spiritual but how are we not a miracle? We are perfectly positioned to the sun so we don’t burn and not too distance so we don’t turn to ice.
***Goldilocks, I the story of Goldilocks and the three bears, written by Robert Southey said it best when he said…
we are just right…
This paradise where we are given medicine from trees, not coincidentally but because, like the song says, we are family. Literally, everything and every species is connected genetically from the sunflower to the sun flies, and this is what we must recognise before it’s too late, because the real crisis is not the global warming, environmental destructions, or natural disaster but US. These problems are symptoms of US and a by-products of US.
Chaos caused by us
Our inner reflections and loss of connection has created this misdirection. We have forgotten that everything contributes to the perfection of mother nature. Corporations keep us unaware and disconnected. But they have underestimated out strength.
Contrary to popular beliefs, millions are waking out of their sleeps seeing our homes being taken right under our feet. We cannot allow our history to be written by wicked greedy and looney. It is our duty to protect mother nature from those who refuse to see her beauty. Call me crazy, but I believe we should have the right to eat food that is safe with ingredients that we can pronounce, water that is clean, marvel at our beautiful trees and breath air free from toxins. These are natural right and not things that can be bargained for in congress.
Hear this, the government want you to feel powerless but it is being said that something as small as the flutter of a butterfly wing can cause a typhoon half way around the world.
When enough people come together, we too can make waves and wash the world into a new era filled with love and connection, freedom for all without oppression.
But it is up to you, yes YOU reading this right now to make the effort because time is of the essence and only together can we change the world and make it to the 4th second.
