This morning I have been reading these news. It is not like I haven’t been aware of the bad situation of our planet, it’s just that we have been submerged by news like that, and what surprises me the most is the reaction: feeble indeed I’d say. I mean, this should be the top priority of every single intelligent person in the world, after all this is the only place we have to live.
We don’t have other places to go when this will be gone, and we don’t know when the process will start being irreversible (if it hasn’t already happened). Nevertheless, there is still people who seem careless about the problem, and not only don’t actively do anything to settle it, to try to find a solution, but it even not welcome the proposals made by the others (like USA did with the Kyoto protocol).
People do not realize the situation, I don’t know whether it is because they are basically selfish, or because they are unable to think large-scale, to see the whole world like their own house and not only like their neighborhood; unable to think in terms of centuries and of humanity, not in terms of years and individuals. Maybe this is a limit of the human being, a thing which will inevitably lead him to his own destruction.
