For those with ears to hear let them hear and rejoice: Instinct trumps faith as equally and surely as it trumps reason. We will survive. The only question is which we. The thorny and pestilent ones? Or the beloved and learned grandchildren of our children? As history reminds us, it’s in our hands.
It is for us to decide our legacy: Good stewards of our great grandchildren's inheritance - or not. And that choice will be our most enduring legacy. But fear not, we are but quantitatively different from our ancestors, and all other life, for that matter. We are as exploitative of our environment as our abilities allow. Yet we are now in a unique position in the history of life as the first species to voluntarily constrain our exploitative capabilities. It is when we do this that we actually become what we have all along credited ourselves with being; civilized, possessed of free will, conscious. It is when we do this that we demonstrate the attributes we admire so and aspire to in our gods, saints, sages and prophets.
And another thing: If we'd have known earlier on how good life could be for one and all, we'd never have taken so long getting on the sustainability bandwagon. After all, if the human race wishes to have a prolonged stay here and enjoy an indefinite period of material prosperity, they have only got to behave in a peaceful and helpful way toward one another.
Ethics and morality for fun and profit - just imagine that!
Easy, wasn’t it?
Pretty soon you’ll be an Optimist, too!
