The Natural Right to Live Sustainably:
Humans Still Have a Chance.
A natural
right is such that sustains the community; The non-observance of
natural rights results in runaway processes that are destructive to
the community and life in general.
Physical bodies, in order to live sustainably, require physical
space--a piece of earth surface--to do it on.
Paradoxically, people who wish to live sustainably have to start
off by supporting the non-sustainable way of life humanity is
leading now. They have to gain a control of a piece of Earth
surface to live sustainably on by engaging in activities that in
themselves are socially and ecologically non-sustainable.
Living sustainably and the way that most humanity is living
presently have to be compared side by side in order to see the
advantages for humanity and the whole Earth of the former, and the
disadvantages of continuing living the way humanity is living
now.
It is the difference between Peace and War.
Living sustainably is the essence of Peace.
The current way humanity is living on Earth is only an extension of
warfare that humanity has been engaged in perpetually (even living
in "peace" is only a time of preparation for the next war) since
time immemorial.
