Who wants to be responsible? The Blame Game Part 2

Continuing our quiz show, can you imagine what the contestant would answer? I believe the person in the hot seat would look left, would look right and then answer something like: “Nobody is responsible. It just happens!”

I can just imagine the expression of the face of the show host and the gasps from the audience, as it would have been the first time somebody gives an answer that isn’t among the given ones.  While I commend thinking outside the box, I can’t commend lack of responsibility. The contestant doesn’t deserve to win.

After all, the environment is about independence. It is the most independent creation of God. When it loses its independence, it loses its characteristic components and beings.

Who to blame? It could be the people who are over consuming, overspending and over utilising the resources of the environment.  It could be the people who are depriving the millions of poor and vulnerable from a safe environment to save their lives.

I was hoping to see a great industrial revolution tied to greater ethical values. Unfortunately, the power of wealth, authority and control is stronger. Ethical values have been replaced by market shares. If you want to revisit environmental issues we should revisit our issues of ethical and moral values.

If we don t save our environment, we’ll be like those who are ignorantly answering questions on a quiz show. If we won’t save our environment, we won t save our future and the lives of our future generations.

We need to stop playing the blame game and try to save humanity.
