our shrinking world
The daily life of human beings is filled with simple concerns. The concerns are rightfully of acquisition and desire: who should matter more to the human other than the human itself?

The social standards we have built around ourselves trigger our natural, competitive instincts, and our need for "fitting in" is only increased.

If humans existed without the material needs of today, we would eventually have found a balance with the world around us.
The human population causes an imbalance in our world's equilibrium. History has shown that in nature, all organisms find a balance with the world. The number of a species coming into the earth matches that of the number leaving the earth. This balance in life and death has been finely tuned over the life of the earth, allowing all...
