If you would like to respond to this blog or any other please log into the members area, and at the bottom of the extra menu that appears you will see "write a blog entry." and go for it, love to hear your thoughts. Well another week has passed, and it feels as though there is still more heartache on a global scale to come. It’s hard to know so many people are suffering, and not be able to do anything in the physical to assist. I cant comprehend how it would feel to be there amongst the devastation of China's people and to know how many have passed over in the sweep of natures hand. In the new age circles, there are many rumors happening in regards to this and other large natural disasters, and mostly rumors and imaginings are all they are. People are talking about the transition of the earth to other dimensions, and about how only those who are enlightened are going to make it thought that transition. When the pure and simple fact is that these natural disasters are simply nature is trying to rebalance itself, its that simple. Humanity has taken an enormous toll upon this earth, building huge cities loading tons of weight in one area, and then to the contrary taking out enormous amounts of oil and water from under the tectonic plates in another. Of course the earth is going to shift and shake from time to time, its plain common sense. If we keep doing what we are doing, it has to affect the balance of this planet we call home. Some people dont want to think about the big picture, they don’t want to know that mankind is slowly dealing a hand towards its own demise, its all to much and leave it to someone else. But if we all leave it to someone else then what will happen in generations to come? We can all do our part, and that is simple too. How? Well we can do this by firstly not building such big houses, and by being aware of how much garbage we throw out, recycle as much as we can every day. It seems to me so much of what we throw in the garbage is packaging, and why do we need so much packaging. For example milk, what ever happened to glass bottles? you remember the ones we used to recycle every day. Now we have milk cartons, and plastic bottles, only some of which we recycle, and each of those leaching chemicals into our daily milk. I could go on and on about this sort of stuff. I don’t mean to be paranoid about it, but if we all used a little more common sense then maybe we could have an impact on the amount of crap we continually deposit into our environment. Nature always wins, she will shake and shudder and there will be storms and earthquakes as long as we keep destroying her balance. The thing is we are harming this earth at a much faster momentum than every before. Technology is serving mankind but it could ultimately be out undoing. Have you ever asked why we need 100 story sky scrapers? The answer is someone wants to make money, and that’s the primary reason. Take Australia for example 90% of our land is untouched and unused. Yet for convenience sake we build more and more skyscrapers in more and more condensed areas every year, why? Often this relates to work, and business, it really doesn’t make sense to me, with the technology we have today we can be in contact with anyone anywhere in an instant with the push of a button. So why do we need to build a bigger ant hill? Why not spread out a bit, and take the load of the already heavy burden on our earth.Well I know this is not the normal issue for me to write about, but when you stop and think about it, what is humanity doing? It all seems like a little madness to me. Well that’s my point of view for this week, look forward to your thoughts and comments. ;) |
