Silver Lining
I totally believe in the capacity of the human species to survive, against all odds.
And in that sense, in a weird, crooked way, all the environmental issues we create, the pollution, the burning up of resources, the dirtying of water and all the rest of the “ills” of the modern world are (cliche coming up) blessings in disguise, cause it will surely test our spirit and our tenacity. And I have no doubt whatsoever that we as a race and a species will survive. What’s more, we shall ensure that the other species on earth also do.
Disclaimer: This particular post was ideated three days back, and I haven’t taken any efforts to see if anybody else has similar thoughts. I am pretty sure that there are other fools on earth, and as fools seldom differ, this wouldn’t be very original a thought. I therefore, with this disclaimer, indemnify myself against all future suits.

Jax,
Well, Humans are by far the most selfish creatures (and thats always good) and are most concerned about self preservatiobn. And if that means eating meat or drinking milk or consuming egss, they will make sure that the cow and the pig and the chicken and the sheep carry on.
This is just part of the reason why I am sure the other species will survive.

Copywriter in an ad agency. By the way, chicken, eggs and cow don’t constitute all the species. We sure couldn’t talk about the aesthetic values of chicken feathers, but we can carry on endlessly about tiger stripes. Man will survive, but he won’t be man anymore. Contradicting most of Nietszche admirers, I think Nietszche was too big an optimist. Anyways, i’d like to tell the world to stop reading Ayn Rand.
