Albert Einstein Speaks of Nature (Gerry Goeden)

“A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”

                                              Albert Einstein

"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."

                                                           Albert Einstein

 "The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it."

Bad News for Me and Polar Bears as the Ice Caps Melt

As I sit at my computer and look at images of Polar Bears treading across broken pieces of ice I think of what we have done and wonder what will be their future. Am I watching the curtain call for the bears or am I looking at the preview of an environmental apocalypse that I helped create but now am too foolish to stop?

Charles Darwin Speaks of the Nature of Human Morality (Gerry Goeden)

 

A moral being is one who is capable of reflecting on his past actions and their motives - of approving of some and disapproving of others.

                                        

                                                             Charles Darwin

The overfishing of sharks comes to mind. Between 7,000 and 31,000 sharks are caught each hour of the day and many species are now classed as endangered.

At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilized races of man will almost certainly exterminate, and replace the savage races throughout the world.

                                                           Charles Darwin

While Darwin spoke of man, there is little doubt that the same applies to other "savage" species. We are indeed changing the order of Nature.

 Basking sharks are harmless and killed only for their fins.

Our disrespect for the world around us is the product of our ignorance (Gerry Goeden)

       

“	In the end, we will conserve only what we love; we will love only what we understand; and we will understand only what we are taught	”
Senegalese conservationist Baba Dioum

As the oceans near an ecological tipping point we seem to be making no effort to stop the inevitable (Gerry Goeden)

“It’s a curious feature of our existence that we come from a planet that is very good at promoting life but even better at extinguishing it.”

Bill Bryson

Two great quotes from two great men. I hope you profit from them as much as I have (Gerry Goeden).

“Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed.”

 
                                                                                                                   ― Mahatma Gandhi

“The oceans are the planet's last great living wilderness, man's only remaining frontier on Earth, and perhaps his last chance to prove himself a rational species.” 

                                                                                                              ― John L. Culliney

"Where nature is concerned we just have to understand that most of the time we don’t understand. We can’t go into an ecological system that evolved hundreds of millions of years before man set foot on the planet and think we can exploit it however we wish and that it will simply cope with our being there."                                                                               

                                                                                 Dr Gerry Goeden
