The basis of any interaction between two life forms generally boils down to two factors – communication, or dominance. Communication of conceptual framework is generally at the forefront of the actions between mother->child, with a mixed amount of dominance as well.
We see it a lot in the animal kingdom, practice it ourselves, yet seem to place ourselves on a self-made pedestal when mentally comparing ourselves to animals. Enter stage right Environmentalism. For the past 30+ years, we have slowly began to realize that due to our rate of population, our selfishness, and our stubborn mentalities, our planet is being covered. I am not going to go all boo-hoo on you and mope around in the details, but any of you with half a clue are aware of the exponential increase of the rate of human population. Simply put – soon we’ll have no room left (But don’t worry, everyone gets a Dodge Viper!).
There is plenty that we *could* do, but the problem seems to be that *we* don’t run the show. It’s a hierarchical setup, and no, there’s not a few at the top, there is not “top”. There’s only some idiots who are abusing power. I find it interesting when people talk about secret societies or the global elite, they also tend to revere them in a manner out of fear.
When all is said and done, and taking care of the planet is important, take a look at the job you have been doing, and then take a look at the job the ants you walk on have been doing. Who’s doing the better job? I am not saying you have to live exactly like an ant, but I am saying it makes sense to take advice from the animals since they’ve been here a bit longer. Science will tell us that animals are much less “intelligent”, yet intelligence is a man-made thought. What good is having a large brain if you’re still a frickin’ idiot?
