"On Free Planet, we look after Number One?"
Do you get that?
We look after Number One.
We treat no-one above ourselves, and that's the most important thing? We put no-one on a pedestal. We are all equals. We ensure that every individual is as important as the power from the sun and storms. We make sure that we're all prepared to survive horrific storms or chance asteroid encounters.
Why?
Oh, sorry - did you expect me to say, "Gaia is our Number One and we must look after her and pander to her every need and worship only her?"
Well, that's utter (acolyte) bullshit. Before we look after 'her', we need to look after Number One - that's all the seven billion of us. We need to look after OURSELVES.
We are that ESSENTIAL NUMBER ONE in this world gone insane with the Corporate War Game of PROFIT-above-people. If we care for All The People. If we Look After all the people. If we look after all the ways life can flourish. If we TEND OUR GARDEN, we won't need to look after the Earth.
She's done pretty well on her own for millions of years without us.
