Coexisting With Earth And Each Other

Disaster and Disease are similar. There are only a few places on Earth that are not prone to natural disasters, this will get worse as global warming intensifies. People face disaster and disease on regular basis. When disaster or disease hits and a person becomes weakened and vulnerable, shouldn’t this person be helped by the government (i.e. others who are healthy)?

I beleive that we need to design our social and economical systems, our infrastructure, and our lives to coexist with Earth. We should build buildings that can withstand all extremes of Earth based on the region, as well as homes that enhance nature (blend in, add aesthetic value, be green, energy efficient, etc..) that ultimately do no harm to Earth.

Unlike some, I think the government in the U.S. is (and should be) by the people and for the people. Thus it is the government’s duty (our duty) to work towards this coexistence with Earth.

We cannot coexist on Earth if we cannot coexist with each other. The government, or we, need to provide assistance to vulnerable people. Any one of us alone is vulnerable, when we come together and create governmental social protection networks then every individual benefits and we become stronger.

We are all in the same boat; we share Earth and need to coexist with it and as a result with each other. We need to respect the wellbeing of Earth and of each other.

Every time you see the destructive effects that humans are causing, and every time you see a vulnerable person, just remember this Earth is yours (it is your home) and this person could be you tomorrow!

If you work to coexist with Earth and people, you become a contributor and a participant in the seeking of wholeness.
