Day 3466: April 8, 2024

Prompt: Begin your entry with "What if..."

What if the world was a kinder place? I’m not religious but I’m sure who or whatever envisioned and made this place, which is outstanding in its beauty, endless bounty and has everything a population of human beings could possibly need, surely has to be beyond disappointed. We are more informed than at any other time in evolution. We’re supposed to be more clever, more knowledgeable. We can cure illness and disease. But we aren’t kinder, thoughtful or more peaceful. People fight for land that isn’t theirs. There are multiple wars, children are being killed without a qualm it seems.
I realise it’s a sweeping statement to make, but on the whole we as a population are slowly but surely ruining the world.

In my country we have the Great Barrier Reef. The coral is being bleached at such a rapid rate that before too much longer it will be a dead zone and no one will want to visit. The sea turtles are being choked by micro plastics, caught up in discarded fishing nets and the crown of thorns starfish is proliferating because of the rising temperatures of the ocean and is killing whole coral reefs. It’s beyond sad.

Rainforests are being felled in greater numbers each year and as the earth warms further, fires and floods are increasing.

So what if nothing is done to stop the warming trend? I know the best minds are working on a solution but is it too late. What if it is?
You know, there is something to be said for being old. That way I don’t have to witness the devastation of my beautiful planet Earth.
