Today Dear Abby continued her column concerning the responses she received to the question, "What do you think is society's greatest problem?"
The response in this column that was very meaningful for me in an ecological sort of way, was ignorance. "ignorance of the fact that we are faced with choices every day and we can act on them for better or worse. We are ignorant of our own empowerment when it comes to the environment how we treat others, our society's history that at times leads us down the same path toward war and the destruction of others. It's ignorance of the plight of our neighbors, our community, our country and around the world There is woeful ignorance of our government, that it serves the people, that its prime mission is the safety and well-being of the people, and our own civil rights.
Merlin of King Arthur's round table said, "The curse of man is that he forgets." If only we won't forget that we are loving beings, capable of great love beyond measure, if only we wouldnot ignore so much but remember just a little. -Maurice in Albuquerque, N.M."
Very poignant in so many ways. Let us not be ignorant of our impact on society environmentally. Let us be good stewards of our earth with its limited resources but infinite capacity to care for us all if we make a point to not be ignorant.
