We REALLY ARE fucking everything up. It's not a joke. You do realise that, don't you?
I've just written several posts and scrubbed them as they were all self-anihilating in that they banged on about our stupid culture's obsession with inaction and the pointlessness of regurgitating what we hear in the media. However, to mark the hour or so I wasted, I will sum up the jist in this bold, capitalised, bright red sentence (the style conveying the force and ill feeling I failed to summon through my deleted words)
WE ALL KNOW WE'RE FUCKING EVERYTHING UP, BUT NOBODY IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT, WHICH MAKES US DESPERATELY PATHETIC AND DESERVING OF WHATEVER IT IS WE EVENTUALLY BRING ABOUT THROUGH OUR BLIND INACTION.

Do you not think that half the problem is the concentration on what we are fucking up and not what we are doing right?
Rarely do people focus on the good points and show the positives of what efforts are being made and so on.
Yes there is a lot of crap, but with the media and the fear/blame culture, those forces that are doing good go unnoticed.
To change the focus onto the good points would it not encourage people to do it more or get involved?
It seems one sided when what we need is:
1) Awareness - letting people know what the issues are, which as you say we hear all the time
2) Education - into what is being done and what can be done and why its important
3) Promotion - instead of promoting fear and negativity, starting to change a focus onto positives. Even if its one bearded man who recycles everything, that should be championed as much as something bad and by doing so perhaps people will feel its not a lost cause.
I think so many people turn a blind eye or do nothing due to the whats the point, or one person can't make a difference attitude. Bollocks I say, one person can inspire a nation but unless they are given the chance then their efforts really are fruitless.
Welcome to my Love/Hate relationship with the human race.
On one side I marvel at the adaptability, initiative and inventiveness of the human race and all that it has created.
Sadly the greater part of me beleives the best thing for us is total extinction. And hopefully we won't take the Earth with us.
There seems to be a general stem of thought that our present evolutionary state was driven by huge amounts of climate flux. It was this change that made us the ecological generalists that we are. If you like, the evolutionary adaption was our ability to adapt.
So, that said...we will probably survive. Then what?
