Dreamily

Animals procreated so that the food chain cycle never break. The fittest survive while the weakest, oldest become the survival means of their predators. Plants flourish with the assistance with the animals. By providing as food, animals spread the seeds to new areas to grow.

Some ‘parents’ foster their young from birth till the young are mature to fend for themselves. Some parents left their youngs to survive on their own, with their basic instincts that are inprinted in their memory/nature. Nature provides both the threats and solutions for each and every species of the living organisims that reside on earth.

Yet, human beings are the greatest threat to the earth. We advanced from (perhaps) the stone age till now. We discovered fire for safety, for cooking, for light; now fire is one of the major destruction. We used it to clear forests, jungles; destroying numerous living organisms which are supposed to make our planet a wonderous place to live, to reduce greenhouse gases.

We had discovered and created multitudinous inventions but it comes with both terrifying and stupendous consquences. One of the marvelous discovery is in the medical field.

Human beings these days, with the help of the medical science, can prolong life. Illnesses can be cured with the help of medicine, vaccines, etc… We keep advancing in the medicial field. Would the day come when we do not need to procreate anymore?

Why do we have to procreate in the first place? So that we have the next generation to shelter us, to feed us, to provide for us?

In the past, when life spans were short and filled with dangerous situations, humans need to procreate so that our species will not die out. However, we have reached the stage where we are slowly wiping out other living florals and faunas. In turn will we be slowly wiping ourselve out in the process?
