Just my view of things on the world in general
So I'm reading Yahoo about how they are saying that scientists believe global warming is likely man-made. Well duh. Took scientist to figure this out? Anyone with a brain and common sense can realize all the toxins we dump into the earth is going to do some sort of damage. The biggest threat to the world, its creatures and human beings IS human beings. There is such a craving for power, being the top dog, having more money and reaping the benefits of this artificial stature. I know the world is cruel and it's sort of getting to a point of each man for his own but, how are you gonna defend yourself when there's nothing left to defend? Everyone has their right to believe in what they want, but the way the world is with war, pollution and poverty who would want to live here?
You have to question people who even have a tug on their heart strings wether or not they'd even care if the world is in turmoil. People would rather wait and see with their own eyes rather then try to make a difference right now. However those who are aware of the world in its current status would more then likely say "It's already gone to far and I can't do anything" ... Well then thats basically putting your head in the sand and hope the sky wont fall cause you didn't see it fall.
The point of people is to get and have more then ANYONE else. Look at how fishermen in those huge nets are just gutting the oceans. People need to remember that even though you are 20,30,40 ect that you can still be told "No! That's enough for you!" We think once we are out of the nest we answer to ourselves, and ourselves only. Well we are still in the nest. The world is everyones home. Yours, mine, everyones! No matter where you live, we all live on earth and we need to care for our main source of life.
I refuse to have children of my own brought into this world. It's current status is just unsuitable in my eyes. I can't imagine where the worlds state would be when my child is 18? Hell, I don't even know if there will be a world, or even a civilization to be concerned with in 18 years. The amish aren't even safe from psychotic human beings. What next? Drive-by, or sled-by Eskimo harpoonings? Look at how many animals we've killed off? If we weren't so concerned with expanding outward and having more land we'd be so much more advanced in medicines for cancer, AIDS and other terrible diseases. But since we've destroyed so much land that could give us a cure, we've almost comitted pro-longed suicide and homicide. We would rather have "stuff" then live to enjoy life. You can't buy life, or prolong it if you don't care about it.
I'm gonna close with this. How hard is it to care, not be in a hurry and remember that no matter how bad you have it, someone has it WAY worse then you. I was at work today and my legs were killing me and I wanted to sit down. I sat down and thought "Wow. I'm complaining about the pain in my legs while someone out there can't feel their legs, or even has any legs to feel pain in!"
