This is a beautiful 2009 movie, by Yann Arthus-Bertrand, that every earthling should watch. Certainly, the planet Earth will survive the human species. The question is in what condition and how much of its life, which we are part of, we might destroy in the process, while still having the option to thrive, care, and evolve beyond our current tragic state. “Home” shows the diversity of life on Earth and how humanity is threatening the ecological balance of the planet. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_%282009_film%29) GoodPlanet Foundation goodplanet.org/?lang=en elephantjournal/2013/10/unfck-the-world/ Hatred, greed, despair, apathy, resignation, indifference, laziness — these are dangerous feelings & habits of the heart ... “Where ignorance is our master, there is no possibility of real peace.” “If scientific analysis were conclusively to demonstrate certain claims in Buddhism to be false, then we must accept the findings of science and abandon those claims.” “The true hero is one who conquers his own anger and hatred.” “Whether one is rich or poor, educated or illiterate, religious or nonbelieving, man or woman, black, white, or brown, we are all the same. Physically, emotionally, and mentally, we are all equal. We all share basic needs for food, shelter, safety, and love. We all aspire to happiness and we all shun suffering. Each of us has hopes, worries, fears, and dreams. Each of us wants the best for our family and loved ones. We all experience pain when we suffer loss and joy when we achieve what we seek. On this fundamental level, religion, ethnicity, culture, and language make no difference.” “Compassion is not religious business, it is human business, it is not luxury, it is essential for our own peace and mental stability, it is essential for human survival.” dalailamaquotes.org/ heallovebe/2012/05/22/how-to-deal-with-anger-according-to-the-dalai-lama/ care2/greenliving/the-dalai-lama-s-wisdom-about-anger.html
