How is Life on Earth Possible?

September 13, 2010 

 

Earth is an ecosystem which allows living things to prosper when it is in balance.  Nothing on the planet should be taken for granted!  For example, if we could wipe out all the ants living on the planet because we don't like ants, that could change the way vegetation grows.  If we could eliminate bats from the planet, then perhaps mosquito-bourne disease would wipe out something else.  If you could come up with a way to eliminate all of the "undesirable people" on the planet, then who knows what wider impact such an act would have.

 

BOTTOM LINE:  Don't take anything, or anyone, on this planet for granted.  The balance that exists is what allows you to be here and, should the balance be shifted too far one way or the other, then YOU, your family, and your friends will cease to be here along with your "enemies" (the ants, the bats, the "undesirable people:", etc.)!
