Quick Write

We are told to imagine what the world will yield for us in 400 years. But the question to consider is this: how can we try to picture the future when our beloved world is on the verge of destruction? There have been many predictions by civilizations of the possibility of an apocalypse with the most prominent being the Mayan’s claim of doomsday. But we need not pay attention to these claims when we, the citizens of Earth, are incessantly intoxicating the very atmosphere and disintegrating the Earth’s surface. The planet that has taken billions of years to shape and served for thousands of years as humanity’s home shall be no more due to the insular view of humans. The guardians of Earth that the Bible depicts us to be are ironically the very culprits accountable for its destruction. In the recent centuries, our species has recklessly taken the world as granted, and placed individual gains over the fate of the world. The environment has not been placed as a top priority and so it is very likely that the habitat of all of humanity will be in abject conditions. Though we will have technological advancements and such, they will only temporarily hinder the rate at which our ecosystems will deteriorate lest we take great consideration to the extremity of our actions. For now, what most nations have demonstrated does not boost my confidence for a bright future. Unless the current population does come to realize the full potential of the environment, then I am afraid we shall not be welcomed by a bright future. But if they do not heed these warnings, perhaps there will not even be a future.

The Office version of Pavlov's experiment on Dwight. This was conducted similarly to Pavlov's conditioning of his dog with the replacement of mints every time the computer reboots.
