I've come to the conclusion that humans are too smart for their own good. We're too smart for our own good. The problem is that we've become too seperated from nature. For example, we farm with the logic that we will not have to hunt for food, so we'll have a better survival rate. This seems to work out fine, but it does'nt. What this does is seperates us from nature. It sets us out of balance. When an animal (like us) is at the "top" of the food chain, it puts things out of balance. We need to live like animals. If this planet is to survive, thats the only way it's going to be done. When we live like animals (no shelter or simple dwellings, hunting and gathering, etc.) we place ourselves back in the food chain. The things that are supposed to be happening will start again. Our old people will all die, half our children and mothers will die right out of birth. It sounds very harsh, but I think thats really how it's supposed to be. Life(as it's commonly described) is a big flowing circle. Everything is in perfect balance because everything is the same. Nothing has an unfair advantage. Now, for a short while, being on top of the food chain is great for a species. It gives them time to gain numbers and rebound; but humans have gone further than that. We've seperated ourselfs from nature so much that we can't survive by ourselves. We all take this medicine and grow our own food and it's killing us. It's supposed to kill us, but no one realizes this. In the long term, we can't live like this. We can't live "civilized" because it puts us so much above all the other animals it crates an imbalance. People need to realize that in order to survive we need to flow with nature and adapt like everything else. The problem with this is that it's too late. We're so smart we already know how to make weapons and traps and how to farm. How can you unlearn something? I really don't know where I'm going with this, I just thought it was something I'd like to mention.
It is not too late. Not for the earth. Not for the life. Not for all the humans. It is to late for the "system". It is too late for the little comfort. It's too late for the majority of us. Life is strong man! The show must go on!
back t the lab, you are wise beyond your years, with thos ethought s in your ead, you have already begun the change, you know. Now you must take that knowledge and build upon it, share your wisdom with others, and do what you can to get back to the way you feel things should be.
You are correct sir. You are also correct when you say it's too late for us to go back to nature. Our best option, our ONLY option, it to change our ways so we may co-exist with nature. Reduce and stabilize our population growth, protect our environment, increase the benefits of recycling and the penalties for polluting! Humans are blessed with creative minds that can solve problems. Early hunter-gatherers figured out that plants grow from seeds, so they took seeds from edible plants and planted them close to where they live. Thus agriculture was innocently born! Over time they learned they'd get better results if they tilled the soil, watered it and fertilized it. As they became more skilled they planted more crops, and eventually entire ecosystems were swept away in favor of huge farming communities. We seem to be highly motivated when it comes to "better" ways of doing things but less motivated when it comes to solving the new problems that result as a side effect.
