Humanity: Beauty v Ugliness

Humanity never ceases to amaze me.

Humans are capable of the most incredible beauty and the most despicable ugliness.

When I think of the beauty, voices such as Sarah Brightman come immediately to mind....great art, architecture, acts of kindness and heroism.

Then there is the other side...the ugliness and extreme cruelty humans are capable of.

Cruelty to other humans.

And especially the cruelty against animals such as the Chinese practice of skinning live dogs and cats. Or Peruvian soldiers using live dogs as target practice.

This is what upsets me the most.

Such a conundrum.

I have always believed us to be the guardians of mother earth and it's creatures. We have caused animals to rely on us, for we are the ones with the ability to affect our and their environment, by our actions.

We continue to wreak havoc on the environment, despite the knowledge of what we are doing.

An example; we have the ability to harness solar power amongst other types, to power our cars etc. yet we continue to rape the earth of coal and oil.

Our own government ministers had the opportunity to change to hybrid cars...yet they chose to continue using gas guzzlers...why????

We have so much room here in Australia to grow our own organic produce, yet what do we do? We buy cheap imports from China...where they are still using DDT and other dangerous pesticides in their food production. Crazy!!

My greatest hope is that eventually...at some time in the future, sooner rather than later, mankind will finally realize and effect the changes that must be made for us all to survive into the future and become the enlightened, loving souls we are meant to be.

Then there will be be no more cruelty and ugliness.

Only the Beauty and the Love will remain.
