To be honest, I don't understand all the fuss about reading books, I mean, people are overloaded with information (noise) as it is, aren't they? I remember when we were reading poems in school there was always buffer time between reading and commenting. Also, I remember the Albert Einstein's story, when he took some time to think things over he has learned in college, only then did his great theories come to light. Maybe it's time for the creative pause so that humanity can make a proper response to written literature, but I know, it's an utopian suggestion.
I see the Universe - not as inevitable destruction, but rather as a well of life.
The problem is we're living on borrowed time, I would visualize Gaia as a horse, we're riding, but she wants to overthrow us. It's not news, but the situation is worsening because too many people are suffering, animals too, and when you suffer Gaia suffers as well. I believe we need to make Amnesty International more influential and get out of the aforecited vicious circle.
Make friends with Earth, connect with it, be nice and forget about invasive fossil fuels.
