Abstract

More than anything else sustainability is a function of mindfulness. As humans live in a symbiotic relationship with planet Earth, they are neither masters nor mentors of their habitat. Instead, they must learn a lot about and from “Gaia” just to survive. In their 80,000 years of exploring the planet, they have built and discovered many things but scientists give serious warnings to humanity because they are destroying their environment at a breathtaking speed. This seems to be in their “nature.” They base their actions on misleading beliefs. But instead of following the destructive opinion that money and profit are the best guides to happiness for the greatest number of people, the time has come to put the cooperative side of humankind to a test, it could be just in time. Each generation creates its own drama and each generation finds solutions to the problems they encounter. So it seems and so we can hope. The fact that horror has been with us all the time does not justify more horrible behavior, on the contrary: there is progress in humanitarian and civilized standards. This may be one of the secrets and promises of sustainability.
