The very real pain and suffering of planet Earth
|
|
| |
The Earth currently sustains the lives of around 6 billion human beings of around 30 billion self aware life forms. |
|
| |
As aspiring and positive the community in which you may live might be, the reality is most of the self aware life forms are in very real pain and suffering. |
|
| 18.1.1 |
The torture, murder and slavery of millions of humans today |
|
| |
Today, at this very moment, thousands of human beings are being tortured and murdered in various places around the planet. Women are being raped and sodomized in developed countries. Children are being raped and tortured in developing countries. Military and terror squads are killing innocent civilians because of their ethnicity, religious beliefs or pure entertainment. |
|
| |
At this very moment, thousands of people are dying from lack of food or water and from the deadly diseases that come with unclean water and food. |
|
| 18.1.2 |
The torture and slaughter of self-aware life forms |
|
| |
Today, at this very moment, hundreds of millions of self-aware lifeforms are imprisoned and tortured in unbelievably cruel systems of battery cages, battery farms, slaughterhouses and laboratories. Their pain is just as real as ours. They dream, they feel emotion and their pain is also felt by the Earth. |
|
| 18.1.3 |
For many, this world is hell |
|
| |
The reality is, for most humans alive today, this world is hell. A dark and terrible place with no real prospect of improvement. That is why dreams of a better place as offered by religions is so important for most of us. It is because we believe deep down, this world ultimately to be flawed and evil with the only hope of salvation being some kind of happiness in some kind of heaven |
