Who are your favorite artists?
God/creation/nature.
Whichever way you look at it this world is a work of art.
Theoretical physicist and mathematician, Frank Wilczek, argued that beauty is the fundamental motive behind the universe, and that if there is a creator they are an artist. His book “A Beautiful Question” is worth reading.
Yet we destroy it and we don’t even care. Companies know that we use too much plastic. They know that a lot of recycling is a myth. They know that there is a huge plastic island in the Pacific. They know it’s killing wildlife and destroying our ecosystem. They know microplastics are dangerous. Yet still they use it.
Still we accept the use of it. The truth is out there.
This is a million times worse than setting light to an old masterpiece. Yet shock would reverberate around the world if someone took an axe to Whistler’s Mother, or destroyed the Mona Lisa. So how can we destroy the world so thoughtlessly and uncaringly in the name of a progress that’s actually destroying us?
Imagine the pile of non-rotting garbage we will leave behind as a testament to who and what we were. Selfish and stupid.
We only get up to 100 years or so on this planet, if we’re extraordinarily lucky, haven’t we worked out yet that it’s on loan, we don’t own it?
However, right now we can still enjoy this wonderful work of art, and maybe think about it a bit more. Especially the natural world.
Planet and humans in quiet harmony.
Smile lots today
