The term 'survival of the fittest' should not be taken lightly, as it applies to how humanity was like before we built a civilized (if you can say that) society.

And this term, in my opinion, is our pedestal to definition. Not only was such used before ''civilized'' times, but it is still in function within the results of society as we know it.
We live a cycle of cruelty, and much like in the animal kingdom, our goals are set for this only. We live to die. Emotions, ethics, manners, morality or the results of conscious thought are naught but what fuels our cycle. (I would be pleased to list some examples, if someone does not understand what I mean by this. )
About the inevitable ''end'', all cycles must end. Most philosophy deals with that absolute idea, even the spiritual ones which suggest an afterlife, so to speak. Obviously, they are based on that very idea, Hence, another great aspect of our cruel behavior if you should ask me, although I believe this sidetracks the point, does it not?
Humans have not been degenerating in the past generations, as suggested by Zotar. I do not believe so.
The countless wars which we have waged have given birth to the Inquisition, the Witch Hunts, the Holocaust, or the scientific experiments lead during the Second World War in japan and Germany. All are examples of our interior savage which never flinches, despite how our history changes, or the comparisons we can make between olden days and modern times.
I am getting to the point here. This is about the destruction of the Earth. Bare with me.
Some different ethnic cultures and their people have suffered, and died out, such as the Indians, or the Aztecs and Mayas. I believe, as crude and as racist as this may sound, that the mentality and primitive nature of these people were much too set, and therefore such was not willing to adapt to human evolution. An evolution which caters to our ''growing'' sense of spirituality and morality, our advancement when pondering life itself. We may be stupid beings, but at the same time, we can be rather intelligent and daring.
Those not willing to accept die out, to leave room for those willing to go on, which is a testament no one can deny.
(Christianity, for example, annihilated many beliefs and people, such as the Vikings. I dare anyone to suggest a plausible version of what kind of existence we would have today, if it were not for the steps of religion in our lives. Would I, for example, even have a meaning in mine own life, were I not able to dispute it?

Such highly suggests the law of the fittest. It is lead by cruelty, and such can be found in so many ways!
It is almost baffling. Both literal and open to perception.
Only this to say that, the arrival to pollution may very well be an altar to the end.
Keep in mind my sermon about human nature, which, even with the differences, remains
en route for the same concepts. Now, consider pollution and the threat to the planet on which we live. It is DIFFERENT. I know, up to now, this is what we have all been saying...
Over the centuries, man has always prophesied the end of time. This was, more often the not, suggested by spiritual prophecies. Evoked by premature reaction to fear.
People do the same today, (The Y2K Bug? O_o) but the difference is, of course, the matter which would bring about the end. A subject we can believe.
So even though the method is different, the matter is now, actually quite lucid.
Now, to dispel my contradiction;
It is rather arrogant to think that we may bring down this mighty planet; because nature works perfectly. It will wipe out its threat before we can wipe IT out. This may be suggested with the recent streak of abnormal storms, the appearance of twisters and tornadoes as well as floods, tsunamis or earthquakes which are not acting within the legitimate ways or laws of nature, That is, at least, as far as science has proven that it does indeed work a cycle, a cycle which functions to keep balance and order for life on Earth.
So even if we do not destroy the Earth, the neglect on our part towards it it will disrupt our harmony with it, and the ways in which it sustains us.
That is, if our own cruelty does not destroy us first. Which, I believe, would be as normal as disease spewed forth by garbage and toxic waste.
If we live to die, eventually, we must prepare for our own end. Whatever purpose we sustain this way will have met its conclusion. If there is even one. One thing I am sure of however, and mankind has evidently, due to his nature, known this forever. Nothing lasts forever.
Such as a seagull heads out to sea to die, so then we too, must prepare for the end.
We are not ''lazy''. It is our nature, and we only abide by it, no matter what our emotions and awareness tell us. For without the latter, I believe we cannot be humans, and cannot be used by our subconscious to play out our existences properly. Its functions, when thinking about the blatant meanings behind human reasoning, does not, I believe, make it sound such a foolish statement.
Excuses and self righteousness, for example, are very normal human behavior.
What I am trying to suggest is that all we say and do in regards to our knowledge and anxiety of our future is only that. In the end, it is inevitable.
We are right, but we do not know it.
Somewhere in this post, I am trying to say that we are set on a course, and that nowhere have we ever ''erred''.
If the French Revolution gave rise to the guillotine, that particular contraption has only served as inspiration for some machine that we have today which is ruining the natural resources we need to survive.
Metaphor, analogy, literal example, take it as you will, but its substance is not merely for flash value.
I see it as a way to underline the picture of our evolution, which is a painting depicting the conformity to destruction. The ''Downward Spiral'', or the inverted tree of life.
But I am getting messed up. I have to go to bed. I hear my pillows. They are calling me.
It seems so simple in my head when I think of such things. However, I have difficulty to put it into wording.
