Subject: Re: Industrial Society Destroys Mind and Environment Author: sushil yadav [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 00:45:56 01/02/06 Mon In reply to: Eric 's message, "Re: Industrial Society Destroys Mind and Environment" on 20:59:56 11/08/05 Tue LIFESTYLE OF MASS DESTRUCTION. Destruction is an inherent feature of Development. Progress = Destruction of Nature. Development = Destruction of Nature. We can have Sustainable Lifestyle. We cannot have Sustainable Development. Development can never be sustainable. Sustainability and Development cannot exist together. Development and Sustainability are opposites. Development and Sustainability are contradictory. Sustainable Living is associated with consuming less – being satisfied with a simple and frugal life. Development is associated with never ending desires – always wanting more. Sustainable lifestyle requires Constancy. Sustainable lifestyle requires Sameness. Sustainable lifestyle requires Repetition. Development is associated with Change. Development is associated with New. Development is associated with Transience. Industrial Societies can never be sustainable – When you make thousands of consumer goods you kill Nature - you kill Animals, Trees, Air, Water and Land. A Society that does mental work [city based] can never be sustainable - it will keep on making consumer goods - destroying the environment moment by moment. Only agriculture-based societies that do physical work can be sustainable. The term Sustainable Development is like the terms Stationary Walk. Silent Talk. Wakeful Sleep. Dark Sun Gentle Torture. Dry Rain. Peaceful War. sushil_yadav [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
