Climate Change

Climate change is a reminder that the human mind is not in charge no matter how sharp your intellect is. 

Just like if our body is deceived by the mind, the body sooner or later will have the last word and it will present its bill.  https://sylvieshene.blogspot.com/search?q=The+body+never+lies

The planet Earth will do the same, it will have the last word, it will present its bill and we will have to pay in one form or another like it or not! 

These words by Alice Miller come to mind: “Inability to face up to the suffering undergone in childhood can be observed both in the form of religious obedience and in cynicism, irony, and other forms of self-alienation frequently masquerading as philosophy or literature. But ultimately the body will rebel. Even if it can be temporarily pacified with the help of drugs, nicotine, or medicine, it usually has the last word, because it is quicker to see through self-deception than the mind, particularly if the mind has been trained to function as an alienated self. We may ignore or deride the messages of the body, but its rebellion demands to be heeded because its language is the authentic expression of our true selves and of the strength of our vitality.” From the book, “The Body Never Lies: The Lingering Effects of Hurtful Parenting”
