Miracles

Have you taken the time lately to look around and marvel at all the miracles there is? I'm not saying that these miracles are god-created.

Our planet Earth is the biggest miracle of all. That it's here and is the way it is is a miracle. All of the events of nature that caused it be as it is today is a miracle. But we don't react to it or treat it as a miracle. Our world is fragile and so delicately balanced and yet we continue to interfere with the way it works. Each time we do, there are devastating results--either immediately or later. We have nowhere else to go and still we trash this miracle we live on. True, the Earth can repair itself...eventually. Whatever devastation or catastrophe it experiences, it can in most cases repair itself. The thing is, it can take hundreds or thousands or even millions of years for the reparation, depending on the level of destruction to its environments. Humans don't have the luxury to wait until the reparation is completed. Our lifespan is so very, very short. Our constitution will not premit us weather utter devastation to the planet.

When will we begin to see and appreciate this miracle planet? When will we begin to treat it with the respect it deserves in order to maintain what we need to survive?

Another miracle is life. Again, we don't treat it with the respect it deserves. Life is precious in that it's all we have. We don't get a 2nd chance. There is no more life once we lose this one. Why do we squander it? Why do we try to take it away from others who think or look differently than we do? Isn't there something else more beneficial to our own lives that we can do rather squander even a moment on trying to diminish or destroy the lives of others.

We are here today in our present condition strictly through chance--billions of circumstances over billions of years. And yet, we take some of the precious time we have and we use it to make someone else's life miserable when we should be using all of our precious time enjoying the time we have. Using our time to make someone else's time and life more pleasurable and nicer would be a more intelligent thing to do. Any time we spend trying to prove that someone else is not as worthy of quality life as we are is most certainly time wasted.

Why can't we all learn to share this planet and all its good things with everyone else?

The miracles of this planet and life were not created by god. It is the miracle of random circumstances--a very long chain of them. We are here by chance. We've evolved into a world that is a paradise for life as we know it. It's like winning the biggest lottery ever! Our time here and the relative peacefulness of our planet today is fleeting. We should not waste it.
