Lack of power - at an impasse with your desires

Do you believe that, there are problems, which we can not solve, or that, there are issues we are unable to tackle?

Ok. I am trying to guess some of these. Please, feel free to send me an email with what I might have omitted, so I can add it.

The world did not stop yet, it did not end. We still can breathe and we still can live. Life on earth still continues. However, the end of it will not be a spontaneous one. There will be no "big final". Life will just slow down until it finally stops.

The planets and the solar system keep spinning. Everything just moves on. Simply, without us anymore. All is fine. All will be quiet again.

But are we really out of all options yet? Some say: "We are doomed." I say: "Don't get paralyzed by the idea that, your actions will be without effect."

We know that, complex systems can appear stable, whilst they are not. They are unstable, and, any small change whatsoever, can have a surmount effect throwing that system off balance. For example, our solar system is highly unstable, but appears to be in balance. But, it is only our perception, that intrigues us into belief of it being stable. 

However, when arguing for change, be that the shift towards electric vehicles, the reduction of energy consumption, the planting of trees, the reduced outtake of fish and wildlife, we always come up with "reasoning", as to why we don't need to attempt any action, because we'd see either no effect, or, worse, that there is always something else, that we don't yet do. Some even ask for more radical attempts, like, the condemnation and even ban of certain behaviors, choices and things.

My point here is that, we must try, always. But, it is not about attempting things for the cause of doing something, like anything that, really appears to be hopeless endeavors.

We must determine, if any of our actions have the potential to make a change. And if there is a slight possibility that, we will see change for the better, then we have to give it a try.

We are in the billions, so we won't be working on the same things anyway, but i think we all share the vision of keeping this planet alive and have it return back to becoming a beautiful habitat again, for all life on earth, including you and me.
