Hi Y'all,
How do feel about life at the moment? There are many who are extremely depressed, many who continually fight wars and even more who just keep plodding away at their job, hating the work but needing the money.
Are there people who are content at least? Of course there are, a huge number who accept the drudgery parts of their lives and revel in the good bits and times.
You see, the Earth and all it's wonders is a beautiful place to live and you can find endless pursuits which will fill you with wonder. I keep wondering why we have not explored the ocean thoroughly but instead, explore space. I see little point in exploring space at the expense of ignoring our oceans. I believe they make up more of this planet than land and ice as it is.
Yet many choose to see the Earth as a miserable place. That's not accurate as the Earth itself is wonderful. It's people who make it miserable and, indeed, are currently threatening our existence on Earth with little to no action on climate change.
Note that, once the human population has been exterminated, by themselves actually, but also probably including every animal as well, the Earth itself will recover without us contaminating it. Take a long while but so what? It matters not as there would be no living thing waiting on that recovery.
Of course there are down sides to the actual Earth as well.
One is that, since Earth was created by the Big Bang, our planet has been constantly moving AWAY from the sun and will eventually drift past where the sun is of any benefit to this planet. Clearly, that ain't tomorrow but it WILL happen in the long run. Eventually if there are living forms of life on the Earth at that stage they will die or need to create alternate energy or leave the planet.
Two is the chance of some meteor or the like hitting Earth and causing extinction of all living. As per the Dinosaur deaths. Could happen any time as we have no idea what's out there, on it's way, right now.
Three of course is the chance of humans demolishing most life through nuclear war. Some Leaders seem to sleep with their fingers on the "GO" button. Thinking North Korea here.
But, forget all that and try to focus on the wonders of this planet while we still can.
