Creatively Use and Respond to Change

Twelve principles, three ethics, one common goal. We all desire a way of living that improves our world environmentally, socially and economically, and leaves a lasting benefit for those who will follow in our footsteps. There is only one thing we must overcome as a society to realize this goal, and that is the fear of change. In order for the human race to endure we must embrace and use change to our advantage. There is no true constant in life, but we can improve our world in the short time we have.
Creatively Use and Respond to Change
Small changes happen in our lives daily, often going unnoticed until something spurs our attention towards it. Even in our routine based, institutionalized lives little things pop up, we usually call these things "curveballs". They seem to catch us offgaurd at the most akward times. These learning opportunities come and go, and we carry on.
I am not going to focus on these small things today, there's just to many variables to try to explain. Plus, I can only speak for myself and I do that alot on the blog as it is.
There is but one change we need to worry about as a species. Climate change.
Climate change is a threat to many and a possible benefit to some. There's a ton of variables here as well, but I believe there will be one common denominator in all of them and this denominator could vary well be the most crippling of them all. We have already seen the effects of this in some of the underdeveloped countries in Africa and the Middle East and there is no reason that once climate change starts to take its toll on the G8 that it won't make its mark closer to home.
War.
War will be the end all when resources are depleted to critical levels. Famine, disease, rape and murder. These atrocities are not far away. If we look through the history books we can only imagine how the game will unfold and if we continue to ignore the signs our future is bleak at best. Hold on though, we aren't at that stage yet, there is still hope for us. The writing is on the wall and it's time to get to work. Climate change is a call to action. So before we draw our weapons we shall gather in harmony and good will. Pick up the scythe, the hoe and the mattick. Harness the power of nature, become one with our world. Indeed we can use this threat to become stronger, we just need to get a little creative. Using these twelve principles and the three ethics we can create a world that is inclusive to all of mankind, upholding our responsibility as stewards of the land and repairing the damage of our wastefull past.
