Until we do not recognise Earth & Us as We, we will not be mindful of it, as much as we are about ourselves. We humans have single handedly brought it to suicidal levels of depravity, and if we dont take a total U turn vis-a-vis our relationship with our planet, than much bigger calamities then Covid are knocking at our doors..!
We humans, supposedly the most intelligent and evolved species on our planet - have mindlessly plundered our only home, leading to extinction of hundreds of species by encroaching into their habitats in our pursuit of more-and-more developed space for our foolish pursuits.
We have totally dis-balanced the food chain, where increasingly more resources in terms of fertile land, water and labour is being used for producing feed for the livestock to cater to the pallete of some of us, while fellow human beings are not able to manage two square meals in a day.
We have self-obsessedly developed such fashions and tastes - devouring the survivalist resource like water, while fellow humans beings and other species continue to die of thirst!
We have relentlessly spewed poison into our air, and still shirk taking any responsibility and action needed to leave our planet for our future generations, as bountiful as we received from our ancestors!
Economic disparity is causing immeasurable misery and challenges to the planet too. Where haves continue to create more and more luxury and comfort for themselves, thus not only damaging our eco-system, but also pushing the have-nots to deeper levels of anguish and sadness!
Instead of the power-struggle that some nations and societies continue to indulge in, our one and only goal should be to pool all our resources, join all our hearts, hands and minds to get a hold on the downslide of our planet.
Protecting our bio-diversity should be the single most thought in all our actions. Living a more sustainable life is no more a choice for us to exercise, but a compulsion for survival of our planet!
Only if our planet remains bountiful and healthy, we have a fair chance to live healthily and happily! If not, we are doomed!
