We strive so hard and so long to create our safety net, our comfort zone, competing with society, getting an education, climbing the corporate ladder, and chasing the quintessential element called money. We work and buy our way to a model of security, success and self-realization that is actually programmed into our heads by the material-based culture that keep us fundamentally disconnected from the ultimate reality, Nature.
Besides our material needs which are never truly satisfied, we dedicate so much to satisfying our equally starving egos. We make our petty little personal life dramas seem so important. And how about our distractions, most of which have become the escape out from the increasingly overwhelming reality around us, or the evasion from the lack of fulfillment we silently acknowledge inside.
The fact is that all effort, struggle and achievement even, do in most cases nothing for the absolute bottom line, life. And I do not mean just your life but everybody else’s and everything else’s. I am referring to the totality of life, possibly the most precious phenomenon in the universe.
In this present day society most of us are confused, unsatisfied and continue to endanger ourselves and the very planet we inhabit just because our priorities are not set right. As simple as it may sound, making LIFE (its preservation, restoration, and enhancement) the number one priority will I believe, set our priorities right and lead us into the sustainable paradigm where we are destined to be in harmony with our life-sustaining system, Nature.
I bet our alien contemporaries if we have any, believe LIFE to be the most precious phenomenon and resource in the universe. I wished my fellow humans particularly those in the first world, could only realize how insignificant their ambitions, goals and dramas are compared to the threat our unquestionable Way of Life poses to our very life sustaining system. We modern people feel like the epitome of creation so sophisticated and advanced as we pontificate on our trivial smart phone toys and our social media stock. But the harsh truth is that we have become the stupidest life form on Earth, self-indulging in our unsustainable materialist bubble of irrelevant diversions and mindless consumption. We are living and worshiping a trademarked fabricated reality, a collective cultural hallucination which is still and irreversibly sabotaging our natural life support and subsequently risking the very fate of the only life we know to exist in the universe. I hope my fellow species wake up from their costly fantasy before our window of opportunity closes. We need all the human, technical and financial resources available to slow down on our current collision path and turn the planet around towards a responsibly sustainable future.
