When bringing order to chaos, we need to know why we do it the way we do. When pulling out weeds to make room for a sapling, we consider the greater good and yet want to avoid destruction. It’s a dilemma and a challenge. Our decision might not resolve everything to our perfect satisfaction, but then relative altruism is really all about compromise.
It isn’t about the ideal, it’s simply about doing a job that needs to be done, urgently and thoroughly. Perhaps it involves nothing more than smiling into the eyes of someone or no less than a rescue bid for both planet and human nature. If we can restructure our own nature we can re-balance the earth. And if that’s obvious, why are we waiting? Do we procrastinate? Are we still star gazing?
