The fragile planet that we inhabit

"The fragile planet that we inhabit – will it support our aggressions?", reflections of Father Juan Bottasso, a dear friend of ours.

Here we can read:

"The myth of Prometheus, the Greek hero who stole the secret of fire from the gods and with it managed to transform the world, has guided humanity on his long walk, but now he needs to find a corrective.

You cannot continue treating the earth as a simple object of exploitation. You cannot only attack her, you have to learn to live with her, otherwise we burn the trunks of the raft that keeps us afloat. Neither is it the case of rejecting everything that humanity has invented in its long journey. The technology that has created these problems is called to solve them. It is simply to make the presence of man less brutal. It is not easy. You have to explore all the roads, you have to look for all the possibilities, you have to give up the easy slogans. It is necessary to continue deepening, comparing, searching. Because this has already become a matter of life or death."
