Contemplating real priorities for 2015

[fourandsixpants]

thought you people might like to take 20 minutes and 33 seconds to watch and marvel at where you are:)

as you are thinking and planning your 2015 priorities.

I saw lots of empty  diet pepsi cans, and krispy kremes and maccas boxes swirling around in that maelstrom.

I saw lots of very fat kids and lots of starving kids and adults (disclaimer: kids and adults may not live in similar or same countries)

I saw lots of fat people in some countries and lots of starvingly thin people in other countries. and many  of those fat people claim to be Christian.

I saw lots of bullets being shot and a few heads being chopped off by people who claim they follow a religion of peace.

But really I'm surprised that I could see anything at all through that petro-chemical haze.

I saw some people who claim they support democracy, go in with guns and tanks and gunboats to other countries whose people's idea of democracy doesn't act to make enough money for those who operate those guns and tanks.

I saw, as if  through a smog, darkly, the invasion of countries who have reserves of oil which other countries covet.

I saw lots of other horrors too, before I hit the back button and consoled myself that everything's going to be alright because I saw this wow-factor, you beaut, conscience-excision product advertised on Foxtel.

When I see vision like that paint, you know how really insignifigant we ( Humans )  are in the scheme of things. Mother Nature NEVER makes mistakes. She Will always win in the end.

Thanks, Paint...when you sit back and watch the marvel that is planet Earth, with all its breathtaking beauty and diversity, all its majesty and wonder, it really drives home just how insignificant we humans really are in the immensity of time and space.

It humbles one to realize that as important as we individually feel, our lives are but a speck, a mere blip in time - and so much of our daily humdrum lives, worries and concerns are gone without even causing a ripple in the fabric of the Universe.

And yet there are those who have the pompous arrogance to think that it was made soley for us.

I agree with all postings to date.....but instead of seeing just the negative and positive effects/affects that mankind has had on the planet....I see this:

We should be caring for our planet Earth and everything on it as a priority along with caring for each other.

Everything else is unimportant really.

Real care, pure caring.

Thanks for sharing, paints.  Beautiful

Didn't see anything green, though.
