Much will depend on where you look. If I look at development across the world I can present a picture that shows more and more people are living in a better condition than 20, 50 or 100 years ago. If I check today's medicine and communication tools available I can see it's better than decades ago. There is much opportunity for people today. Throughout much of history you could die from a simple infection. Not fun.

But this (Development) all comes at a cost of course. If I look at the environment or the decline of plant and animal life I can only shiver and can easily picture a very awful situation unfolding over the coming decades. And there is not even a 'dark' sense of relief in that either, since humankind will not learn from that, and will still be able to adapt to a world with drastically limited resources and a polluted world. People can survive in the cold and in the deserts, and we'll start to overpopulate Greenland, Antarctica, Canada, and Siberia. Then there will be too many people and too much pollution over there, and then what? On and on this goes... Agent Smith was spot on... LOL.

Politicians and businesses won't learn to limit economic growth, ever, because ''we must compete with other countries!'' The drive for economic growth and continued competition (i.e. 'separation') will come at the cost of most life forms, but with our superior intellect we'll still find ways to prolong our own ignorance. It's a perfect horror script if you ask me..! Burn everyone else but get punished yourself at the last moment...

The world is exactly as it should be. No more, no less. We simply cannot protect or save everyone from every ill that might befall them, because nothing will ever please everyone. Our world is too complex, our needs and wants too different, for us to ever find an easy, peaceful, sustainable solution for whatever may plague you. Every choice has a cost and a benefit, every action an equal and opposite reaction. Plagues come and go, civilizations rise and fall, the tide ebbs and flows, we're born and we die. Your trash is my treasure, my meat is your poison. You lament the state of the world, while I watch the changing tide with bittersweet bemusement.
