In the grand scale of cosmological time, the total time spent by humans in this tiny blue dot is like a drop in the ocean. And if we talk about our technological advances it would be only the atomic size we had been here. Yet, we have done enough to threaten ourselves,  those who are coming, and became shameful to those who left us.

A bit of history of ours: some million years ago, a cell decide to become intelligent and began to rapidly multiply taking hundreds of forms, and finally around two million years ago we began to take the shape of what we are now. 

Then fast forward in time, various civilizations along the coast of Africa, in between the mountains of the Himalayas, and aside the Nile river. They had developed such systems and tools which were a revolution back then. Skip some thousands of years, the time of kings and queens of Europe, expanding their reach, building colonies, and ruling the world. 

Each of those moments laid the foundations of what we take now for granted. Sadly this won’t be the case for the future generation, speaking in terms of environmental well-being, technologically they would thank each 8 billion of us breathing right now.

We are in a such stage that we are imprisoned by our own inventions of ours. Take an example of nuclear, just a of rouge leader and my God. The world though pretends to forget the wounds of the latter stage of World War II yet is still haunted by the experiences of Chornobyl and Fukushima. 

This is just one example, let it be the highly volatile AI or spill of biotechnology and we are 100 times more dangerous situation than the currently revolving Covid-19 pandemic. And above all of this lies the mighty “Climate Change”, just a century of overachieving, and the life of billions, and other millions of innocent species are at stake.

One day maybe the world will know that it is okay to compromise for the better good, it is okay to care for other species too, and it is okay to share affection among all 8 billion of us. Soon enough we will learn to value the living one more than the one we made for our consumption of time, we will give importance to the working of nature more than the coded with 1’s and 0’s.

This will mark the new beginning, making the heaven where we live not dreaming a million of far away from our home. That would hopefully solve all the problems we face now and make my above statement 100% false.
