Ever get te feeling that nature might be overloading?
Our continued existence, my continued existence. It all seems so meaningless. Everyday that I roam the earth, is one day less for another animal. The carbon cycle shall spin, and there is only so much carbon present. Every life for another.
But the unrelentless tides of human expansion demands ever increasing amounts of carbon, steel and energy. To feed the human march, the earth ungrudginly gives. Until now.
The natural scales have been tipping, and human is making sure it tips to his side. However, like any other states of equilibrium, balnce must be sought. Whatever man is using to hold the side of the see-saw down might not hold for eternity.
The better news? Nature is fighting back.
Hurricanes after hurricanes, bred by warmer temperatures. Viruses spread that should not spread, via the mass production of livesttock. Processes altered, natural flows stopped. Furious changes in too short a time, and the laws of physics may one day yet seek vengence.
Man can fight man all he wants, but will he see the imminent battle looming under his nose?
What are we supposed to do. Do we fight nature, and continue our selfish existence, or do we realize the folly of our choices. Man can be unselfish to man, but can he be unselfish to all.
Man might be the most destrcutive killer of man, but he is not the only killer.
