"Our ancestors viewed the earth as rich and bountiful, which it is. Many people in the past also saw nature as inexhaustibly sustainable, which we know is the case only if we care for it. It is not difficult to forgive destruction in the past that resulted from ignorance. Today, however, we have access to more information, and it is essential that we re-examine ethically what we have inherited, what we are responsible for, and what we will pass on to coming generations."
~His Holiness the Dalai Lama

It's interesting that we're more destructive now than ever - even though our knowledge is greater than ever!
A good message for today, Snap,from the Dali Lama. I like your fall look.
Amen!
Sad how we take our resources for granted.
Yes---I agree with Maria... We are smarter --yet more destructive... Too bad... When will we learn???

Why oh why can't we turn back the clock... one feels so small when faced with the outrages waged on our planet!! thanks for this.
