Unusually hot summers? Drastic flash floods in the Balkans? High Inflammation? Credit Crises?...
Age of Survival (12000 BC to 2000 BC )
12000 years ago, when we were still cave men, we had nothing to wear, no concrete homes, no food to eat, which isn't imaginable sitting on your sofa. We were exposed to the extremes of weather, which was usually cold around that time (ice ages) or the fear of predators. And we found food by hunting animals or eating from the trees. In those days we had a future to behold for a few days at the most, which was mostly when and where do we get to eat again. The times were harsh, as we didn't understand the wind, the lightning, the rain, the fire, the sun or the days and nights. We just made the best of our situation so that we would live to see another day. What we understood was our need for food, for reproduction and for survival. We were ruled by our survival instincts only. We were learning how to survive the nature. Survival was our only purpose.
Age of Morality (2500 BC to 1500 AD)
It took us 8000 years, before we started learning how to grow food. Nomadism continued in some locations, especially in isolated regions with few domesticable plant species, but the relative security and increased productivity provided by farming allowed human communities to expand into increasingly larger units, fostered by advances in transportation. As farming developed, grain agriculture became more sophisticated and prompted a division of labour, to store food between growing seasons. Labour divisions then led to the rise of a leisured upper class and the development of cities. The growing complexity of human societies necessitated systems of writing and accounting. But there had to be some order, to rule us, now that we had become more self dependent. So we created religion, to create a code of conduct, for the humans to adhere. Religion (in case of hinduism ) taught us to worship nature through personicafication, though it never answered the hows and whys. It had repercussions, but was necessary for fear of the unknown had always ruled us, and we made the unseen order our purpose.
Age of Science (1500 AD to Now)
This was the age where we were starting to question the age old laws, set by religion. We were ready for the age of discoveries and inventions. We started sailing seas, we understood the Earth, solar system, days and nights, seasons, winds, ocean currents etc. We entered the phase of industrial revolution, advancements in medicine, agriculture, periods of colonisations etc. This was the phase in which knowledge differentiated us from the unknown. Energy was used in different forms, as in coal, oil and now nuclear. From calculating devices to super computers, from papers to smartphones, we have jumped by leaps and bounds. Now that we are taking deep space search, and quantum mechanics, we have distanced ourselves from the religion, condemning it being a practice by lesser minds. With religion taking a backstage, we have come to a moment where we are not ruled by any fear at all, but by money and greed.
The age of science has taught us to question the unknowns of the world. Now we have come to a point where we need to question the purpose of our existence. Of course our history, is a tiny little speck in the timeline of universe. Our significance can't be justified over such a long time scale, but our civilisation will just carry forward long after we are gone from the history of Earth. Let us open ourselves to the concept of taking all the living organisms together, and creating a world that sustains itself with nature. We have to consolidate our future and that begins now. Save Trees, save water, save animals, say no to fossil fuels. Save Planet. How? Start from the basics. Switch off electricity when not needed. Save paper. Use public transport. We are connected to each and every living soul through our planet. It's time to wake up. One Consciousness will help us see through.
(This might seem as None of your Concern, but it very much is. We complain of unusually hot summers, inflammation, drastic floods and what not. This is all the nature's way to lash back at us for interrupting its cycles)
