Survival And Living
Arjuna Seneviratne
There is a joke that goes like this: If someone says “let me clarify that point”, it only means that the audience has understood that point a bit too well. My previous too posts on environment and development both come under that category. So, both as an apology and a giggly synthesis (not clarification), here is a sort of tying of threads.
The world is in a pretty serious mess. Have I said that already? Haven’t we all said that already? Like about a trillion billion times? A day? heh. Quit trying to regenerate and sustain the planet, just surviving today is a tough enough challenge right? wrong!
When the word “survival” has become the dominant daily thought in the minds of the majority of earth’s human inhabitants and the word “living” gets relegated to fashion magazines and lifestyle pullouts in the trendier newspapers, Houston, we got a problem!
