Serendipity On An August Afternoon
As August comes to an end and summer winds down so do the prospects for the earth to remain able to provide what is required to sustain life. We are faced with the conclusion that the way of life we as the human species have chosen is killing us. A time for decision making is upon us. Should we just keep on keeping on until we are extinguished? Or should we change our minds?
If those who can do something to stop this do not intervene life on earth is over. If there were a moment more climactic than this moment when the societies of the world are deciding whether their 'way of life' is worth keeping when it means the end of life itself I'd like to know what that moment was.
Frankly it is doubtful that life will not arise from the ashes. I suppose life must arise from the ashes. But I wonder why it is so hard to decide to save what we have while we have a slight chance to do so. After all it can be pretty nice here in August.
Why did we start the fire and why are we not doing all we can to put the fire out?
