Rare and Exotic Beauty in it's Natural splendor! Nature is not just beautiful; it exceeds the limits of our imaginations. REALITY CHECK & PRACTICAL SOLUTION. We are already well beyond exceeding our planetary boundaries. The majority of global eco systems have surpassed their tipping points, which continues to cause irreversible consensequences. No wonder extinction rates are rising year on year. As the human race and custodians of our home planet we must all take greater care of our home planet and all of it's inhabitants. OR the grim reality we will be facing is that our planet''s inhabitants (including ourselves "the human race") will cease to exist. As a Global community, together we can prevent this and preserve our home planet including all of it's natural splendor through shared responsibility and working collectively. However, we need more than "conservation" if we are to get through this alive. We need "re-generation"! The biggest mistake we can all make is expecting that others (e.g. leaders and corporations acting in their own interests) are going to fix our problems - the problems we have all contributed to (in one way or another as consumers on a finite planet driven by an economic model depend on infinite growth). The web of life is not an abstract concept - it is grounded in material reality. As the only self proclaimed "HUMANE" race on "OUR" planet, the choices/decicions we all make and the habits we all have (and share) impact our home planet and all ecosystems around us. Time is NOT on the side of any inhabitant of Earth. We all need to consider and rethink the impacts and inevitable implications of our individual actions (at both a local and global scale). We have no choice but to modify our ways of thinking to make the well-being of our planet ("planetary health") inclusive and a priority in our decision making processes (at all levels: personal, social, political, etc.). The actions we will then be taking, will be aligned globally and in the best interests of our home planet and all of it's inhabitants. Indeed, before we can make the most difference in changing our world for the better of current and future generations, first we must change ourselves!

The people who are out to cause you the most harm often come across very similarly to the people who want the very best for you, because people who are out to cause you the most harm have no emotional interest in you. Like a shark, they simply manouveur, looking to cause you the greatest amount of harm, with no further consideration of you, but for how this best benefits them. Even people who hate you, hate you because in some way they care about you enough to feel a passionate sense of emotion over you. People who love you tend to want to save you from hurt and maximize your potential for happiness and pleasure, so they tend to respect you and give you space for your own autonomy. People who are most out to cause you harm also give you such emotional space, mostly because they've studied you and are trying to find a way to manipulate you by your fears and weaknesses, ostensibly by trying to help, which can look at first very similar to one who loves you and is actually trying to help, and almost seem preferable at first, because it is free of any personal concern that might restrict your thought process. It's important sometimes to master the ability to deny a reaction and delay a response, because sometimes things move faster than your ability to process things. It isn't a matter of separating mind from body. For one thing, you can't really do that. For another thing you end up selling your soul for something that is emotionally empty. We need to allow our emotions to guide us, but we need to maintain an internal dialogue so we are not controlled by our emotions, but instead we are the ones who are the master, and have our emotions work to serve our needs and not the other way around. But we are social animals. We live in a material world. Our greatest pleasures require other people. Sometimes people seek to take advantage of us when we are experiencing a void in this regard, by exploiting our fears and insecurities to try and have us get over excited and do things that would undermine the outcome we are all but guaranteed of if we just stay calm and carry on. Sometimes you just have to be a bit patient and sometimes people will try your patience to such lengths it tests you ability to control your emotions. So sometimes it's best to just walk away and leave it be. You have a future and tomorrow is another day. If someone isn't for you they're against you.
