At the end of his speech, Chief Seattle
said this:
The end of living and the beginning of
survival".
Among all the living species on Earth, us, mankind are dubbed as the smartest among the animals, but also the most selfish species.
Our ancestors was not so bad. They co-exist with the Earth, taking only what they needed. Rocks, timber, and the occasional hunts to gather food. The environment was not polluted, and they respected every bird, tree and rock, believing there are spirits in them, also known as animism.
Times has changed nowadays. After the industrial revolution, we rarely care about the consequences of all large and prosperous projects that we launch one after another. Greed now controls us. Even the ambitious spaceflight projects are polluting the Earth, filling the outer layer of Earth with space junks.
Earth is not ours. We're merely insignificant lifeforms found on it's beautiful surface, that after decades of pollution, lost to history. We should do something about it before it's too late.
We must push the boundaries of science to look for solutions of the current situations, and prevention of any disasters in the future.
Earth is our only home.
