Poll Of The Month : Why have we settled for a World/Earth that grows uglier and more degraded/less biodiverse with each passing year?
Poll Of The Month : Why have we settled for a World/Earth that grows uglier and more degraded/less biodiverse with each passing year?
This month's poll in the Mirrors For The Mind, Heart and Soul series
In my most recent post I provided a small sampling of evidence which shows that we have in fact settled for a world that grows uglier and more degraded with each passing year, but why is this so?
This month’s poll invites us to seriously consider why we (as the species which is most capable of using our free will, our minds, our hands and our technological gifts to either destroy, extract and commodify or to create increased biodiversity, abundance and beauty) have allowed the planet Earth to become more ugly, less biodiverse, more toxic and more ecologically degraded with each passing year.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to contemplate the question above and vote.
Please elaborate on your choice in the poll above in the comments section to promote constructive discussion and solutions based conversation.
I wasn't able to vote in the poll (window said "something went wrong)--maybe you've closed it down since Thursday--but my answer is social engineering/brainwashing as the main reason, though not all by itself. For years, decades, I bought the Club of Rome and Pogo notion that "the enemy is us," but the past four years have taught me that this idea is part of a massive campaign of programming we have been subjected to for those decades and much longer. That being said, it is now our responsibility to stop the ecological and human carnage and envision/create/build the world we want to live in, which is, for most humans, a world of beauty, caring, kindness, interdependence and yes, love.
We have turned away from God.
