We all know that we are going through an era where the earth is depleting due to our actions. We are the only species in earth who has conquered almost all the known habitats / regions which support life in earth. We are depleting the natural resources as days go by, the water level is decreasing - we even have started digging out non-renewable ground waters, Oil consumption is at its peak, population & average life span is increasing due to the intervention of modern technologies, deforestation is increasing in an exponential rate, cultivable landscapes are vanishing, animals and plants are getting extinct, Ozone layer is depleting, Global warming has started to show its after effects as days go by, Oh yes we have created PLASTIC... etc etc...
When looking at all these from an environmentalist's eye, yes it seems like we are doing something really bad or may be its a fact that we are bad. We might be the so called evil species who are killing the earth.
Quite recently I saw a monologue by Late George Carlin, one of the greatest comedian, Social Critic, Actor and Writer of all times - on the endangered species. It clearly explains - We Humans are not even a slightest threat / of no effect to our earth. Earth has gone through far more worse things than the acts by us. Earth has been effected with Meteorite collisions, Volcanic eruptions, tectonic plate movements, Tsunamis, Cyclones, Storms, Floods, Forest fires, Solar flares, Ice ages etc etc... do you think what we do is more worse than this ? I don't think so.
The crucial fact, which every body - the environmentalists should realize is this - 99% of all the species that has ever been on earth is extinct as of now and this has not stopped it is continuing to extinct; along with the creation of new species. So a species getting extinct is not a big thing, some will go and new species will come into scene - that's all. Pretty simple.. right ?. To reinforce this look at dinosaurs the largest species who were ruling earth for a very long time, then it got extinct; later came Humans now we are the largest species maybe we will also become exitinct extinct after some time. But that's all just in the flow of earths cycle, which we have no control of. So its just that earth is fine, only we are the ones who need care.
We should live our life properly, as we just have one - don't care about some plant getting extinct or an animal getting extinct - because earth don't care about it. Earth has far more serious things to look at; like to stay put while traversing through space around sun at a speed of 29.8km/s while spinning on its own axis at a speed of 465 meters/sec, that also avoiding the meteorite collisions, solar flares, black holes or even some planet who might jump into the path. If I were earth, I would be more concentrated on it rather than some silly humans who are digging oil and water or creating plastic etc,, humans are not taking it anywhere; its just that we are remodeling it or maybe changing the composition of things that were already part of the earth. So I feel that we should stop struggling to keep the earth alive and start trying to keep the humans alive - maybe we utilize the funds we have for environmental activities to feed poor and starving children in Africa.
My moto : Live the life at its fullest, don't think about tomorrow; live for today as none knows whether we will live for tomorrow or not.
