The first three bonds of human infancy are mother, father and nature. Or that is as it used to be. These days we have Nature Deficit Disorder, a modern illness brought about by our environment being made unsafe for us and our children to roam via psychopathic and pedophilic conditions in the society we live in. Other reasons are pollution and racism-classism. Pollution renders what’s under our feet out of reach through toxicity, degradation, concrete/asphalt and isolating distance.
Our bonds are meant to be mutually beneficial. With our parent, they care for us when we’re young and helpless. And when our parents are old, we care for them because we are strong and they must depend on our strength. The earth is always here for us. We get the support we need to live from earth’s bounty. All that earth requires of us is stewardship…active appreciation and care.
It is a shame what goes on these days. These are days of demons and hell. Hell is a place where people have short arms and long spoons. The people will only eat if they feed each other so it is hell. Everyone is hungry and angry. In heaven, people have short arms and long spoons too. But in heaven, everyone makes sure to feed one another. The conditions are the same but the choices are different. And that is our problem. The devils assuming control on earth and of humanity only want for themselves. They enforce their take, take, take greed.
There are limits to what avariciousness and goons can do. Volcanoes can be mined for diamonds, earthquake fault lines can be fracked for oil and workers can only be used up for so long. Those are thing that can’t go on forever… the limit will be reached. There is a line that can’t be crossed. There is a tipping point.
There comes a time when the earth says no. The time comes when the situation cascades into a very large grave. The grace of growing up or growing old will be over. Humanity has a choice now in whether we will be in hell or heaven here on earth. What is your choice?
