Mother Nature has enough resources to meet our natural needs untill and unless we start striving for more and more resources on this Earth. By natural phenomena Earth can feed each and every living being until somebody out of his bad nature tries to occupy others rightful resources. If we people stop wasting natural resources like food, cloth, minerals and spoiling flora and fauna; we can make this Earth heaven where nobody is poor, hungry or deprived.
By cutting more trees than one requires for just feeding our desire to become rich quickly actually one not only blinks somebody else’s future but his future generations as well. In the era of rapid industrialization everybody wants to recklessly occupy natural resources and to exploit it. In the course of this event nobody cares about its consequences; neither government bodies for their want of tax revenues nor industrialists for their want of earning more and more wealth overnight.
Same theory of misuse of non-renewable resources applies to everyone’s daily life. The theory is relevant at micro and macro level all human beings. Only animals or Tribals who knows value of nature’s scarce little wealth of natural resources use it to satisfy their natural needs. All we need to do is limit our wastages and unnecessary wants and desires. The balance of nature’s elements like rain, air and land will normalize with timely and normal rain, clean breathable air, arable land and sufficient food to eat. In the end I must add this It is we the human beings who create the situation of scarcity by knowingly and sometimes unintentionally.
I am very happy to come accross your blog. There are two major reasons for this :
1. I Love Buddha.
2. The goal of your and my blog seems to be the same or atleast close to each other.
I have always believed in the logic that you presented here. I wish buddha came back to give these lessons back to people.
Sometimes I also ask and wish god to come back and tell the humanity what it really wanted from them. Each religion and sect leader has worked out their own meaning of words said by god according to it’s suitability to them.
[...] Greed: The Cause of All Problems In This World [...]
I’ve come to truly believe the causes of our current being is due to our previous actions. We are but our own burden. We create all the problems endangering our existence and other living beings. If we don’t change our ways of thinking and show restraint from continuously producing wastes, future generations will be tremendously affected. Often times, people only care for their own joy and existence and do not think much about the consequences of their actions. Compassion is a virtue that not many possess in this day and age.
