When man stagnates, he rots and takes creation down with him. But man is essential to creation, because a new world cannot come into being without mankind’s renewal. Instead of the present stagnation, a new flow of inspiration must come. I disagree with the present widespread belief that creation would be just fine, if not better, if mankind vanished.
Thank you for your comment. Certainly if mankind disappeared today it would be a disaster, and the inevitable meltdowns of nuclear plants, etc. would ruin the world. On the other hand, mankind today is ruining the world. Perhaps mankind today is no longer man as such, but is something new, which no longer fulfills the purpose of being God's viceregent. If we want to look upon man as having some sort of ontological privilege, then we need to declare that with that privilege comes responsibility, a responsibility modern man has failed to live up to.
Yes, mankind has certainly dropped the ball when it comes to its responsibilities. It seems to me that most people today would not even know what to agree upon as to proper responsibilities. Thus, a lot of floundering, lost humans. If we don’t know what we are here for, we can hardly do it. I would hope for some kind of consensus to arise that would give confidence and direction to all. Something to believe in. Or Someone.
