Don't worry about the Fact that CiviliZation's about to fall by the wayside.

This has been predicted, in one form or another, by most everyone.
What's so Good about CiviliZation?

All things must pass.

More to the point-- All things

Do.


Impermanence
the Rule.

So seZ Buddhism.

Apocalypse...

The Coming Messiah...

EcoLogical Collapse, preached by environmentalists-- and many (most) scientists...

Nuclear Doom, feared by All...

Who knows which...?

One Thing Certain:

the earth will continue to orbit-- until it, too, passes.

With or without the human species.

Not Religion... just basic Truth.

All Things Pass.

Basic, basic...

Just because CiviliZation is guaranteed to pass...

Need we fear?

Need we believe our own existence is threatened by the passing away of civilization...?

Need we feel attached, fearful, convinced we'll go down if the ship does?

No.


If Humanity in fact (for that matter, if any other circumstance) destroys, poisons, or otherwise compromises the ecological systems that make earth-life possible for humans...

Then we shall pass, sooner rather than later.

but if what we know and celebrate as the Grand Accomplishment of CiviliZation--

collapses...

we needn't necessarily wallow in doomed despair...

If a self-destructive system in fact destroys itself-- (likely...), it doesn't necessarily mean the end of humans
themselves...

There'll be struggles, violence, loss...

There already is.

But those who survive the Collapse needn't, necessarily, mourn homo civiliZaticus...

We Could move on.

Where?

How?

-Where the pollution, radiation is least permanently harmful...

-By growing, weaving, sewing our own...

-By Paying Closer Attention to Ecology-- the laws of the planet, of Life-- rather than self-absorbed/ destructive focus on

Economy.

It's the Ecology, silly.

By re-establishing small, local, self-sufficient communities-- villages-- focused on enriching, nurturing the land, the soil... using local "resources," renewable resources, less utilities and infotainment and jet-setting and corporate-produced "necessities"...

ReThink what is Necessary, what's Most Important.

Becoming more and more local, less and less fossil-fuel, long-distance-transportation oriented...

There is no obstacle to this being done.

This is being done, still, all over this planet, by humans.

We might call them... the Meek.

...as oposed to CiviliZation-Worshippers (WarShippers)-- Addicts--

the Arrogant.

At its Foundation, that's all

CiviliZation is,

ever was...

Arrogance.

Self-AggrandiZement...

At the expense of
Many.

The Experiment is nearing
completion.

The Experiment has Failed.

HOWL.
