RE: Are our emotions enough of a reason to support the survival of mankind?
You might be glad to know
The question would be, are the efforts that are being carried enough to counter the destruction that we are causing? I think not, so I'm not glad that we break a child's legs and then put a cast around it to let it heal. But yeah, a cast is better than no cast; it's just not enough to make me happy about the topic.
As humans, we have that choice - to accept or reject the adequacy of actions/ideas. In this sense, we also decide on quantity - how much of it is required to bring satisfaction or equity. Unfortunately, there are never enough resources to fulfill everyone's needs and wants (We each are so uniquely different). With rare exceptions, most humans abide by greed and fear. Having inherited this survivalist attitudes, it is not strange to see these views reflected in the governance of so many societies that practice destructive, self-serving behaviors at the expense of others or the planet. Still, regardless of how wildly unmanageable humanity becomes due to its nature, I believe there will always be hope for positive change, and any hint, regardless of how small, should be welcome with open arms.
Thank you for allowing me to share. @fcpway
