I prefer sustainability over decline.
According to the dictionary, ‘to sustain : Lengthen or extend in duration or space.’
To me, that means live a long period of time with good health. In the mid 90’s this was not a big issue but the upcoming generations and the peering population on the earth are now moving towards an unpredented situation. Specifically we are talking about the same old story of a decline of any major civilisation which has the age-old pattern.
“first you eat up your share, without any care; then you blame others for that and fight becomes the only solution; after you looted and ate every last chunk nature provided you with, you raise battles among your own. Darwin called it ‘Survival of the fittest’. The you find yourself in a time of starvation and poverty. Nowhere to run and finally calamity strikes, you go extinct. You see Nature has a very simple way to take back what it lost; it will always replenish, its us who would suffer our own misfortunes.”
This is what happened in Easter Island. So painful !!
This, my friend, is decline.
So which side are you?
