THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT
Posted: March 16th, 2018, 10:51 am
The LONG view is what Stephen Hawking's brilliant mind took in account and many of his warnings/predictions about the future should certainly be considered by any thinking being. We are now in the age of Anthropocene (human accelerated caused environmental change) and our and all other species existence are at a balancing point. For some, it may be too late...the white Rhino, cheetahs, (the list is long) and most worrisome of all...bees... without which nothing living will exist.
In the SHORT view...most are oblivious or not doing anything to make a difference on this fragile world we live in. We are too caught up in our own ego-concentric games be they politics at the lowest levels, religions (who is in...who is out), money and power (try taking that with you when you die) or just thinking that Nature is something "out there" that is "out to get you" or scare you silly i.e.bugs, snakes or man eating ______ (fill in the blank).
Every single creation of Nature is here for a reason and all are interconnected be it a "weed" or a mosquito. We (the teeming masses) are pretty much only concerned with the flavor of the moment without Stephen's LONG view... I am certainly hopeful that enough care enough and have the foresightedness to save our planet or move on to create other environments where we can exist. The signs aren't good right now for that to happen but we certainly live in a magical world where ANYTHING is possible!
My mantras...look up, walk in nature, question all, and seek the truth...
Today the moon is in Pieces, a water sign and a good planting day so that is my plan. For further reading on Hawking's views on our future...this is his take:
