Life on Earth
Within ten years, life on earth will be unimaginably different. Humanity at its present is reaching crisis after crisis as the threats of global warming, religious extremism, unchecked aggression, greed and the rest become more obvious and ominous everyday. The problems we face in today's world are unlike any that have been experienced throughout history, simply because the world today is faced with the startling realization that we are going to have to look at our survival and future as that of a single living organism. If global warming or any other cosmic threats manifest, the threat leaves out no one, we are all caught up in the same struggle. If waring "religious" interests and their respective nations clash and lead to nuclear war, they threaten life as we know it, for everyone on the planet. If America keeps its attitude of Mega-Capitalist McWal Nation, hell bent on fixing the worlds differences with bullets and bombs, we might as well help put up Big Brother posters. I could go on, but I'm sure you have ideas of your own.
The point is, that if we could ensure that we could avoid any of these or countless other scenarios, then we would be stupid not to. Imagine all of the scenarios that may unfold over the next 10-20 years with all of the different power struggles and change of governments and interests that could happen in a world run like ours is today.
Earth is already connected, technology has reached a point that one single event can occur and cause implications clear across the planet seconds or less later, whether positive or negative. We are an organism, connected in every way, we need to do what we can to survive as a species and as a planet...
This brings me to our real problem, If we really are in this struggle as one; as a species, as an organism, as known existence, we're just not healthy, and not fit to take on any real challenges that we may run into or run into us. People, for some reason just can't seem to get along, and therein lies an age old dilemma that threatens all of our futures.
It should be so obvious though! Truth and reason lead us to conclusions that when considered only briefly easily prove the illogicality of disputes over race, religion, sex, orany other differences; we are all the same. Not one person on this planet had anything to do with their coming into existence and not a single one remembers the event. Each and everyone of us has merely been living the life that we have chosen and that the fate of the time line has made for us. Shouldn't it be easier to forget that there are even barriers between us? There aren't! Homo sapiens are the one and only species found on earth blessed with consciousness and reason, if only we knew how to use it. If you realize the power of uniting as a species, for the good of all us and everyone's only home, the possibilities are endless.
If the power and the decision making was in the hands of the majority, as are the goals of true democracy and true communism, what couldn't be accomplished? If all of the developed nations in the world realized that war is obsolete and that they should redirect their efforts towards making peace and encouraging development, imagine the progress that could be made almost instantly. If America could stop worshiping the dollar and hating anything that could sound even slightly like communism, we would realize that humanity working together has the power to provide for all of us, while humanity in competition has proved to benefit only some and made true freedom and happiness hard to come by for anyone.
BALANCE IT SEEMS: IS, ALWAYS HAS BEEN, AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE KEY TO EVERYTHING
We are already an organism, the future poses a great edict for humanity, realize that we are all interdependent on each other and our planet, learn to love our brothers and sisters,and unite for the future of our species, or not and leave the power where it lies and see how the dice drop...
The choice is clear
LIVE
LOVE
UNITE
