All those satelite images taken of the Earth over the last few decades saddens me. Coral reefs turning white. Greenery replaced by grey pollution. Amazon rain forest rapidly diminishing. The world from space looking like a deceased cell starved of oxygen…

When a healthy cell in a human body is starved of oxygen, it mutates and eventually becomes cancerous.

So, when someone is dying of cancer, that’s how planet Earth feels. The irony is…

Humans are the cancer of the Earth!

We are indeed Ghost, but can you blame us? I do wonder if there are alien civilisations out there and if so, would they have had to go through the same processes (e.g industrial revolution) in order to achieve and reach higher technologies and thus greaten their chances of living longer/expanding their civilisations? Or could other species have found a way to evolve and advance themselves without harming their own planets. Maybe they could have stumbled across some foreign technologies that would have allowed them to do just this.

Due to it being all we know, I see it as us going through a necessary process where we sadly have to ruin the planet for a time being in order to get to a point where we have advanced technologies and thus no longer need to destroy the planet in order to have nice things.

You could very well argue that we don’t need the “nice things” eg smart phones as it’s hard to say people are any happier now than they were before, but unfortunately it seems innate in our DNA to want to better ourselves and keep improving technologically, I feel like any species that succeeds on their planet needs this ingrained in them otherwise at some point they’d simply stop trying – though would them stopping trying actually hinder their happiness? Probably not, though it would stop their species being able to live longer and greaten their chances of surviving potential mass extinction events which comes down to the most basic natural instinct of them all, the want and need to survive.
