Our world is filled with tales of destruction and we are riding on their tails, hanging on for dear life.  Natural resources are being torn down in the name of progress.  Entire species are being decimated as their habitats are being destroyed.  We mess with nature by our use of pesticides that kill many beneficial, healthy organisms as well as the pests in order to be able to sell more produce that may be genetically modified.

There are those who deny the existence of climate change in spite of the extensive evidence that exists.  Scientists have been trying to educate the world about this path of destruction with that very evidence and it has fallen on many a deaf ear.  Why?  Methinks it has to do with greed in some form.  What kind of a world will our children inherit as a result of this irresponsible behavior?

Fracking and the building of pipelines to extract oil, all the while disregarding the damage it will do to our environment and the people who live there, is unconscionable.  Raping of the sacred grounds of Native Americans is deplorable!  When will enough harm be done to make a change in the course of these actions?  Is there no end to the wretched atrocities that people will perform to create more decadent wealth at the expense of future generations?

I sincerely desire that change will happen in the hearts of those few who consider monetary gain more important than the welfare of the many who suffer as a result of their actions.  Let us hope and pray that there will be a massive shift in the existing paradigm that will level the playing field by giving voice to the concerns of all people.  If we continue on this path, all of us will suffer the fate that has been created.  For none of us is exempt from the result of our collective actions.
