Loved seeing this subject! I shared on my instagram the other day a few sad thoughts about Sudan, the last male white rhino dying. I cannot even begin to fathom _where we think we got the right_ to treat this planet and its many creatures so horrifically. 

So many people are totally unconscious of how their actions ripple out into the world. Not that I believe myself to be fully conscious by any means, but I at least _try_ to pay attention to how my choices and the choices of the people I support play out on the larger stage.

I think a lot of wanting to reproduce and have children is for that emotional support. As we age, we need youthto hel p take care of us and adopt the physically demanding jobs of adulthood. That was a survival technique, but now that we have prolonged our lifespan through medical procedures etc, the amount of elderly is beginning to weigh down on the youth, and we won't be able to sustain this momentum.

In the end, I suppose, what can we really do but try our best?

Thanks for sharing these thoughts!
