Earth is ready for everything that it itself creates...
the Earth has a lifespan of tis own, and every day it gives us a blessing of warmth from its Core... however... it HAS a lifespan, which we are decreasing, by sucking the world dry with everything we do... we are shortening that lifespan, several times before, the Earth stopped sending its heat, it died down, letting its Core, its Soul, recover, after having been weakened by something, most likely just a long time of keeping up the constant heat it does... it took too much of Earth's own strength...
I'm not saying the Earth is living AND breathing, but im sure as damned hell saying the Earth is living, the earth, like humans, has a soul, and just like humans, that soul grants it its warmth, however, while a humans soul takes the form of a heart, the Earth's took the form of its Core, and with it, it shared its warmth and shared its lifespan with the animals, the plants, the humans on its back.
now Earth may have to wound down, we know its been several thousands of years, and if humanity believes that Earth's cycle will stop for them, I welcome there imminent death, sure, I will die with humanity, but i dont mind dieing whenever, I'm just living in a corrupt world of people who want more power among there kind.
Earth may have another, as we call it 'ice age' soon, oh well, if one DOESNT come, well... what? is the Earth's soul to wither and wane for eternity? for the few thousand years left? tell me, would you rather we all end and new life come, and have the planet live longer, or would you rather we live a little longer and die along with Earth?
is it not true that most humans enjoy heat and warmth over cold and bitter frost? so, a slight rise might be Earth's way of forgiving us for Defiling her, and a way of apologizing for not being able to give us a longer span, however, just as a mother who gives her child, she fears if she can give us a good life and thus trades us, so that she may recover and grow stronger enough to nurture another species for the time it requires. it sounds horrible... however, is that because you decided that? or were you raised to believe that someone who gives a child up, be it young or old, is horrible? if so can u truly say that u believe it?
