INTRINSIC BALANCE
Nothing in Nature strives for balance because Nature is intrinsically balanced.

It is only us, the highest form of primates, that have created a foreign matrix of biodiversity consumption & destruction that will never intrinsically balance with Nature.

GENOCIDE
The genocide issue humans should be battling is the genocidal extermination humanity is inflicting upon the natural world & the beings that dwell there.

We're all guilty of this genocide. If we don't stop it, sustaining human civilization will become impossible.

CROSSING THE LINE
Humans are ill-fated crossing the line politically (ex: USA govt tyranny), societally (ex: terrorism, sexual slavery) & environmentally (worldwide).

Until we stop destroying the environmental infrastructure that sustains human civilization, correcting all else is futile.

THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM
Empty land isn't empty. It's habitat, carbon storage, migration corridors & ecosystems all of which create & support life.

As you put more & more people on Earth, Nature's expanse & the living processes it globally supports, declines.

ANOTHER LION HAS PASSED
Robert Redford & now Jane Goodall 15 days later.

Robert & Jane gave their hearts (compassion & strength) advocating & protecting the natural world & the beings that dwell there.

Honor them by giving your 💓 to our extraordinary planet & the beings we share her with.

"Aspired to a lofty ideal"
A foundational compass that kept America progressively moving forward. America is now in a regressive state.

Will Americans step up to the plate to halt the decline of our once great nation?

Time will tell, Noel.

A NATION OF NATIONS
Indivisible, With Liberty & Justice For All

This 249-year-old formula is what made America great. You cannot deviate from it without paying a disastrous price.

America will not be great again until Americans are great again, until the American majority returns to 249-fold.

Made me think of the comment Charlie Kirk stated about empathy...

"I can't stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that — it does a lot of damage."

Two of a kind.

Overcoming sexual discrimination, illuminating the relevant power of women... minds, hearts & spirits vs their bare butts, would be more productive.

What's behind Trump, admin & MAGA reshaping Christianity to serve power, exclusion and hate?

This nails it, Bridget.
