I've started to think it would be better to leave the whole subject and watch the human kind driving headlong to the concrete wall. First of all because we humans do not learn anything if it doesn't hurt. And the more it hurts, the more likely we learn. Secondly, I don't want to be held responsible to break anyones identity and the image of self.
Deep inside us, we all know that dumping the chemicals, toxics and factories' combustion gases to nature, will hurt it and eventually ourselves. But to admit that will cause a lot of anxiety and forces us to give up of parts of ourselves. Anxiety, because one has to face the fact that we really do cause this by ourselves. And giving up of the illusion of omnipotency. To admit we're not the picture of our god - the godlike creature that is made to rule, but just the one bit of the great organism called nature.
It seems to be easier to die begging forgiveness and blaming our leaders than to live carrying one's responsibility and facing the consequences of one's actions. When I'm discussing with people about the climate change or environment, I do not want to win the argumentation because I know the anxiety, emptiness and feelings of weakness it causes to admit what we're doing. I do not want to cause that to my dear fellows. It is probably better to let time pass by and be there to help when the first cries of help are heard.
We truly have not diverged from nature. When we talk about the nature's wellbeing, we're talking about the things very deep inside us. And as long as there's discussion, there's possibility for forgiveness. When the talks end, there are only those who act.
