A premise

I realize that I have allowed the anger and abuse  experienced as a  child to turn into self abuse. To become excuses to not be alive & rational, (at least is that not our razion de et tare?). My greatest fault is that I have lived my life doing so very little to move myself with compassion and more importantly to me, the world, away from the consumption of way too much shit. OK maybe that is an "ego" trip, to have such a goal for a life.

Yet realisically, based on growing population. As well as literately blind greed and capitalist avarice. Which has not even had the grace to uplift the species, But in shear hubris, the 1% seems to be incapable or disinterested in compassion or moral equality: except as empty words.
 
Do you recall the old SF stories (now likely movies) about “evil” people (always someone else?) development and release of bio-weapons, or aggression? Obviously this is not an answer; because death imposed, rather than life given freely, will never make meaningful social and humanitarian change. I mean, Christ. We we are not dying for “their sins, but our own. .  . More on this later. . .

Sin of course is simply a word meaning mistake, and life for me, has mostly been a mistake of inaction. And worse, of greed, and hubris. I do not "enjoy" recommending it at all, but there has to be a huge culling of the human capacity for environmental destruction, for both our moral and emotional "spiritual" growth. Not to mention our species survival in balance to "the garden" we have been lovingly given. Or rudely invaded, it's not a "closed"perspective.

I don’t know that any real discussion is had over the social and moral value of consumer commodities and even simple human impact on the planet’s bio-sphere, except by folks like Derrik Jensen, who get no respect or fraction of the audience they deserve.

 We as a species seem to be incapable or morally unwilling, to consider our place in the planet, (remember, were 3 miles deep in a gaseous atmosphere) much less the Universe, not as “bold explorers” or even as mere proto-sentient beings. Slowly beaming aware of our own hyper violent natures, irrational behavior and lack or stewardship. Or "Constitutionally incapable to be honest" about what violence, manufacturing and capital truly imply.

I don’t think it’s unusual anymore (as it was in the ’60’s) to argue that we have no more right to a “manifest destiny” as Americans to the world Than humans have a right too manipulate or destroy more than a small 20% ? of the sustainable biosphere. If one is mature, I believe that is proven in restraint. Peace is the way.
