| The Laboratory Of Life On Earth |
|
The Amazon is the laboratory of life on earth. It is much more populous than our greatest city, yet no one goes hungry, no one needs social welfare to survive. Life is abundant and there is enough of everything for everyone. Some species are hunters and prey on others, yet there is no greed or malice. There is only natural balance. In its perfection, life offers unlimited abundance. If we accept that life is perfect and if we accept the abundance and stop competing for what we believe we need, we will accept our role in the greater ecosystem, the greater symphony. But instead we convince ourselves that we need things that in reality are not necessary for happy and fulfilling lives. We believe these things are scarce. We believe we must compete for them. If we could only recognize that everything that life provides is everything that we need, we could cease our struggle. If we can trust that there is enough for everybody, we will achieve abundance-based cooperation, respectful management of the resources, a sense of harmony and balance that will prevail. |
