Nobody Wants To Destroy The World

I don't know anybody who wakes up in the morning and thinks to themselves, "I'm going to go out and destroy the world today."

Nobody consciously decides to lay the earth to waste. Yet we all do it. Some of us in small ways and some of us in large ways, we all contribute to the daily destruction of the planet.

We don't do this because we want to. We don't do this because we think it is a good idea. We do this because we are trapped, stuck in a system that compels us to destroy the earth.

The system tries to lull us to sleep, telling us not to worry, science and technology will save us.

But we want to stop. People the world over are agitating for us to put a stop to the madness. But the vast majority of us don't know how. We are trapped and we can't find the bars of the cage. We are on a runaway train but we can't find the off button. We don't even know if this train has an off button.

What Deep Ecology does is make the bars of the cage materialize. The train won't stop as long as we are on it. We can slam on the brakes and it will keep going. But we can jump off. We may get a bit bruised by the fall but in the end we will be okay.
