"OXYMORON" FROM MY ROOF TOP GARDEN, 06 JULY 2017, MY PHOTO, ©

Image may contain: plant, flower, nature and outdoor

Although: -We are uninterruptedly reminded of death we are all surprised when it comes! -We abhor old age, we seem to do everything we can to be old! -We have been taught that love is the salvation of humanity we succumb to hate’s demands! -We have seen the horrors of wars we never stop discovering more powerful weapons of destruction! -We know by polluting the planet we endanger our existence, yet we keep polluting it! -History teaches us that things do not change by themselves, we keep hoping things to get better without us altering our ways! -We have been convinced of our mortality, we don't make any serious effort to prepare for immortality! -We are aware of our limited knowledge we never stop criticizing God's wisdom! © Demetrios Trifiatis 06 July 2017

You've hit the proverbial, "nail on the head"; left us with nothing else to say. This is a perfect description of our species.

As Peter, Paul and Mary sang in their song 'Where have all the flowers gone' dear Demetrios - When will we ever learn? - Maria

So do I, but we are with one foot over the abyss my friend, Probir! If we do not wake up our excuses will not save the next generations! Thank you very much!

True what you say my friend but also true what I say! We have to be careful especially with:The pollution, war and hate otherwise there would not be many generations to come! Thank you for your lovely visit and comment!
