I myself of course don’t live that way, but I do strive to make my life simpler and use less. We may be able to delay what I consider to be the inevitable, and maybe in the mean time, we will have a change of heart that strives for balance.
I’m sure that if the native and indigenous cultures had populations of 6 billion, then they too would be seeing some of the problems that we are experiencing. I doubt that they would have ever gotten to that large of a population though since getting to this point would have been against many of their beliefs.
I was just stating that we as a species have made a choice to live a certain way that happens to be very destructive. In the long run, I think many of the current population will die off along with many of the earth’s species, but it doesn’t end life. I don’t think that it is a trade; I think that it is a consequence of choices. If people are happy with this choice, then so be it. Life will go on and the earth will survive. For me though, I just want to live my life more in balance and closer to what is in my heart.
