As things are born and grow, those things must also destruct at the end. New things are then born from the destruction, and the cycle continues. Termites’ purpose is also to aid in the natural destruction process; Godmade, termites perform a function for our world.

Everything physical begins, grows, and ends. According to science, Earth has only 3.4B years or so left in its existence (still a long time!), our sun will eventually become a red giant and end life on Earth, completing its productive growth stage and destructing in the eons following, while even our solar system will lose continuity once the sun’s gravitational influence has waned.

In our existing world, humanity lives conscious of itself, setting us apart from the rest of life, but we live unconscious of God’s ways and Nature’s, so we are and continue to ignorantly accelerate the destruction part of the process. Draco-II et al, extremism from any side, hatred, separation and division, and the systems that we have built and operate – ourselves blindly participating in them – have exacerbated and conflated the natural destruction processes to the point that we humans are in peril of self-extinction. What we do, how we currently operate and live on Earth is not sustainable. Overwhelmingly, the majority of science confirms this. Humanity is a mighty force, unconscious: our actions accomplished via an ego-driven will, creating as though we were God, are unconscious of God’s will. This is a definition of human hubris. And without change, it may become suicidal: but, it doesn’t have to be that way.

What if the collective power of humanity was put in service to the planet, to life, to God’s will instead of our own? Isn’t this what we have been told we should be doing by the saints and seers and sages that knew God’s will? Wouldn’t that world be a much better world in which to live?

We have to want it, more than anything else. Until we voluntarily and purposefully choose to follow that path, the karma of our actions, with pain as our teacher, will teach us the error of our ways. We will only know God’s will and way, though, once we quiet thought in our minds, and truly listen within, evolving from the present ego-driven termite-ways to beings stewarding for God.

Voting Republican now will not help.
