We
keep pseudo-patriotism on our tongues. The shouters; the culinary nationalists
tasting the exciting dish of hate, leering with misplaced, mouthwatering pride.
As the
super-species ruling the planet, we have created a hierarchy of pain, rights
and entitlements. The pain and rights of the non-human manifestations of life
are secondary, almost inconsequential, and are taken as the means to fulfill our
needs.
No
wonder the balance is gone. It’s unsustainable. The birds, plants and animals
are rightless. Their loss is meaningless. It opens the way for their
destruction. But the fire won’t stop there. It will then start eating we
humans. The non-human part of nature is in fact the shield against this fire.
