Desire. That burning
inferno we all feel in our heart. Some, desire the riches, some, desire
freedom. The majority of you reading this have a fairly concrete plan as to
your future: You're going to get a job that offers a decent salary, you're
going to get married, you're going to have kids, buy a house, get a mortgage,
and pay your bills, and drive your car to work. It's not always that shallow,
but that is the basic outline of it.
Personally, I have a far more optimistic desire with life. I don't want to tie myself down to a Human-constructed concrete habitat. When I go out into the forest's and experience the freshest air my lungs have come in contact with, and the sound of birds serenading my every step as well as a river that hasn't experienced any tampering from our species flowing right beside me. I don't know where this desire comes from, I know I'm descendant of a line of Cree Natives, that may be the original source. Or maybe it's just a very natural desire of any creature born to this beautiful, lush Earth that already offers all you need, without the need for human interference. Don't misinterpret this, I have a strong appreciation for all of man's accomplishments, I mean, we can fly you up to space just for leisure if we really wished it, that's revolutionary to all life. The human is revolutionary to all life. We all have such different and diverse thoughts that none of us are similar, yet we're all under the same category of Human, take a gander at any other species of the Earth, and then compare it to the behavior of even a slightly mentally deficient human, s/he would still excel in comparison to any other species. S/he may not outrun, or even come close to competing in terms of strength, but they'll certainly develop a tool to aid them. All of this has become too standardized, the knowledge of our intelligence needs to be praised far more than it is. I bet the average Human couldn't even build a stone axe anymore, the first tool we ever manufactured to assist us. We've become so dis-attached from the living organism that's right under the soles of our shoes at all times, Gaia. The Earth is still sustaining your existence, even if you believe that your clean water and food comes from Humans that have developed methods to transfer all your necessities to you, it still comes right from the Earth, the same Earth we're corroding through industrialization. Dammit, no matter how hard I try, I can never avoid falling back on the subject of the health of our environment. I just wish everyone understood that we're nothing more than intelligent ANIMALS. Yes, you are an animal, yes, you are a beast. You are a tamed animal that has become too familiar with the comforts of a civilization that is a complete detriment to the status of the Earth.
Maybe I'm just one of those crazy environmentalists that cares about the Earth. Maybe it's completely irrelevant that ecosystems are collapsing at this very moment and holes are forming in the ozone layer that surrounds our planet like a blanket to protect it from harm from radiation and space debris, maybe it is completely irrelevant that the water we drink is becoming more and more scarce and the resources that are very finite are beginning to dwindle already. What does it matter, if we continue to obey the governments that only care about the amount of profit our country can obtain through extorting it's resources, and if we continue to concentrate on our path we've set ourselves on, we'll be but a distant memory of the Earth, and it'll have successfully battled cancer and won. We're supposed to be the guardians of this planet, not the destroyers of it, our intelligence has deceived us into believing that we can always find a fix for something or reassemble it later. The Earth doesn't work like that, and the only thing we're sure of when it comes to the Earth, is our own ignorance towards deciphering the intricate systems it has in order to sustain itself.
