water...water...nowhere...not even a drop to drink....

Half a glass of water once every week.........mineral tissues to wipe oneself clean.............the color green only in old paintings......minimum temperatures 50 degree celcious...............earthquakes...acid rain........volcanoes errupting every 2hours in a day...........circa 2070!

This will be the scenario for our progenies...........while we laugh.......party.........and Destroy!

Humans are supposed to be the most intelligent living beings on this earth...........are you sure? If so, why do we destroy ourselves, our environment, our future? Will supercomputers, robots, organic food save us from the bleak future? Are we superior to mother nature - can we stop earthquakes, volcanoes, acid rains, global warming? Interestingly we are the catalyst of our sufference - cutting trees and destroying natural environment, killing animals and dis-balancing the food chain, nuclear tests, pollution,wasting water.......all in the name of CIVILISATION!!

Lets learn from our intelligent couterparts - animals. They donot kill or destroy for pleasure. They can sense dangers much ahead of us.............

Is it too late? Arise, awake....till its too late...........and we reach 2070!

Reminds me of the Samuel Taylor Coleridge poem, 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner'. This stanza:

Water water everywhere and all the boards did shrink
Water water everywhere nor any drop to drink

another brilliant suggestion from and i insist it is brilliant... we can switch to use and throw garments too.... cuts down on the effort to maintain them too :)

A good paradigm of a true humanist impulse. But I am also keen to know whether you are demanding, on the other hand, a primitive society where man can never surpass the middling animal values.

right diya, again ayanesh, not humanist impulse...where do we fix a balance i guess we would need to think on.

we cannot go back to a primitive society. computer has become a commodity and we would not do withou it.

but what drives us? humans..i mean..innovation, greed ..development can't stop but neither should we ignore the alarming rate at which we cause deatruction in the name of development.

Are they all necessary? Do i need to eat sharks, whales to survive? do i need that excess 4 feet i could have spared for two trees to grow?

we cant forget we are animals tp begin with.. is it still a paradigm, sir ayanesh?
