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

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.
