As an adult and knowing what you know now…

-Was there ever really any hope for humanity’s continued future existence?

-As a species, were we / are we destined to fail?

LET’S IMAGINE

Imagine these things, for example:

• A “model planet” that environmentally thrives, utilizing the virtually free resources that nature provides (wind, solar, hydro, bio) to yield a relatively pristine and beautifully balanced ecosystem, with no waste.

• A species that joins together, across the globe, to work in harmony, advancing itself ever upward through continuous free higher education, healthy living, positive role models, and promoting universally constructive rather than destructive value systems.

• Reasonable population control mechanisms, encouraged for, and based on, planetary resource sustainability

• A sharing of and distributing of planetary resources, fairly, so there are no more hungry bellies or people living in squalor.

Off the top of my head, these would be some positive forces, IMO.   

So, what’s the problem?  Why can’t this be our modus operandi?  Where did we go wrong?  Give me your list of reasons.
