The importance of love & solidarity to heal our planet.

“…We are messy creatures, often selfish, prone to short-sightedness, susceptible to greed. In a Trumpian moment with racism and nationalism resurgent, you could argue that our disappearance would be no great loss. And yet, most of the time, are pretty wonderful: funny, kind. Another name for human solidarity is love, and when I think about world in its present form, that is what overwhelms me. The human love that works to feed the hungry and clothe the naked, the love that comes together in defence of sea turtles and sea ice and of all else around us that is good. The love that lets each of us see we’re not the most important thing on earth and makes us okay with that. The love that welcomes us, imperfect, into the world and surrounds us when we die.

Even-especially-in its twilight, the human game is graceful and compelling.”

Bill McKibben, Falter: Has the human game begun to play itself out? (Wildfire, 2019)
