Inaccurate Ramblings About Our World and Humankind.

This is a copy of an email I just sent to my faithful cousin Olympia. Her blog is somewhere, when I find it I'll shove the link in -here-. Also, I do apologise for my improper use of words and punctuation, because when I'm emailing my cousin I tend not to give a shit, and she generally knows what I mean. But I decided to post this because I haven't posted anything in ages, and I'm not bothered to edit it to make it sound good for my blog. So here we are:

For the first time ever I'm going to use proper punctuation in my email because it makes me sound smarter. I was thinking about all this stuff and I had to write it all down, and I thought you might be interested to hear, since you're pretty philosophical.

We, as a people, are people that speak for the planet, and speak about "saving our planet", when really we are just wanting to save our people. What ever happens to the world - through global warming; ice caps melting and what have you, will happen to the planet, and the planet will still be existing. The planet couldn't give a stuff about humans, they're just an insignificant existence that the planet can shrug off it's shoulders. We're making such a big fuss about everything to save humans, and to save people. This is what activists should be saying. It's the humans striving to survive, and to save humankind, using the only thing they were given for survival: our brain.

But think about it. Animals such as lions and deer and birds all have features that are the reason they survive. But humans don't physically have any features on their body, in the whole of their mechanism, that would enable them to survive in the wild, except for their brain. They use their brain to create ways to fend for themselves. They invent things - like spears and stuff that the cavemen developed; and the wheel - and thus everything keeps developing from the last thing they invented. We've created our own world over thousands of years, and the thought of all of it, every last bit of it, being washed away to never exist anymore, is devastating for humankind. The whole world, to us, is what we've created. Cities, schools, airplanes, cars, houses, zoos. All of it that we've created ourselves, just being completely wiped. All this effort, and most importantly all this rich invention and beautiful creations, and music and art, just being completely discarded, with no witness. It really makes you realise what we really are and what we've done to the world, and how we rule it, how we change it.

I highly doubt that you haven't thought about all this before, but I'm just sort of putting it out there.

Now, I have the solution for the horrible creation that is poverty; the third world; developing countries, whatever you want to call it. Suffering. That's a good name. Anyway. All the developed countries and continents like America, and the Commonwealth, and most of Europe, are all developed, and have already gone through the changes and developments that developing countries, such as India and China, are going through as we speak. But the problem is, to try and "save our planet", we would have to make those developing countries stop what they're doing - which is what the developed countries did about a hundred years ago and which made a huge impact on the world, especially in terms of global warming. If they were to do what the developed countries did a hundred years ago in order to develop, the world would surely end, if global warming is true. The things include mass economical and industrial change, and we all know that factories and manufacturers produce greenhouse gases.

I seriously hope all this makes sense. If it doesn't, then you should annotate or comment on the parts you don't get like right next to them in bold. I also haven't done any research like at all, and if I was actually bothered I would research exactly what changes occurred when the now developed countries were developing, although I do know from the things I've learned that in places like London there was certainly poverty and a cast system in the late 1800's and early 1900's (a hundred years ago), which resembles what's happening in India right now.

Anyway, the solution is simple. Instead of handing the third world countries money, we should simply try and advance them to our level by teaching them the skills and the theories and plainly educate them. If we just hand them money, they'll carry on doing what they're doing, but with more money. And like gun lords and stuff would take the money and create weapons to protect the money, and there will be fights over the money, and nothing would get done.
Instead of students spending money on going to a country to relax in their gap year, they should go to places and educate people that need educating. I'm saying they should do this because it's literally like if we don't, then we'll all die. If we don't get all humans educated enough to not have to go through another industrial change, then we will have killed humankind. Our situation is that delicate, as we should already know from all the fuss about global warming.

I'm thinking about all this because really, we're young now, and we are yet to live our lives, and we are basically the future, and if we don't do something we will be screwed. I have lots more that I think about but I can't think of anything now. Plus I have to do my Maths homework.

Love Jazi xx

And there you have it. Please comment. And I know some things I said may be untrue. You are welcome to correct me. Thaaaaanks.
