Earth,Chaos,Destruction..?

Carl Sagan pointed out in the series "Cosmos" that we are the only species on our planet capable of totally annihilating ourselves from the face of the planet.
So here we are closer to a date that according to a Mayan calender puts us closer to the destruction of life as we know it.
Whether or not that destruction is going to come from a divine source or if it comes from the abuse of planetary resources and waste,or from some political regime in the form of a weapon of mass destruction is any ones guess.
Then we have our own independent forms of destruction, greed , fear, jealousy,rage that allow people to believe that to solve these problems they must kill.
That is in itself the true down fall of humanity.
We are destined to destroy ourselves as long as this remain the prevailing means to solve problems whether real or imagined.
According to biblical scripture two brothers were the first to kill for feelings of jealousy, does this mean that we are all too succumb to the same feelings as well and commit the crime of murder?.
Does this mean that it is a natural occurrence with in our species and to be expected?.
Their are people who would love to hasten the end of the world/civilization as we know it,because they believe that this is the only answer.
Maybe it will be as the science fiction writers have written about for a long time that it will take near total destruction of the planet before we get it right within ourselves to see that killing is not a solution to anything.
I do believe that this is what it is gonna take for us too get our act together as a species,because we refuse to listen to one another because of our racial,ideological and religious differences especially those religions that say too their followers that they are the only ones who will live.
Until that time i think it is incumbent upon us all to live the best that we can, try to spread as much compassion as we can,that means not only compassion for people but for the planet we live on.
Their are too many people with power who like the status quo and would love nothing better than to make the rest of us believe that there is absolutely nothing wrong and that we should go on about our business as usual, so that they can continue to have wealth and power the way it is.
Until those people who represent industry realise that we are polluting the planet on a massive scale things on the planet will continue to worsen.
I don't know that it means complete abolishment of all the things that we have created in so much as we have to step up the management of those things.
Myself included that I have grown accustomed to having these things in my life as much as anybody else.
There are alternatives and we know it, if only greed wasn't so intertwined in industry so that they would start really trying to change.
Is the earth gonna be destroyed anytime soon?, i don't know but that it will happen I think is probably so, and it wont be from any divine source..It will be because of us.
