In 237. About political philosophies,
I wrote that political philosophy is "in what social circumstances we live is
preferable for us."
And all human beings are included in our social environments.
So I wrote that we must consider about our own circumstances including them.
Now, how about other creatures.
We know a word, "destruction of environment."
But we must think it more clearly, I think.
That means "distructions of our living environments."
We are living on the earth, which is rounding on the third circle of our sun.
We are creatures living on a planet with sun light and rounding moon
and with the air and unfrozen water
and we are living in thin air layer of our planet.
(Its name is atmosphere.)
When we look up the sky,
we can see the upper world of ours.
It seems like a half sphere of an air doom.
But the earth is a round shape.
So in fact, our visible range is limited.
In our usual life,
we recognize that that ranged field as our living space field, I think.
But a radius of its range is said about 100 km.
We are indeed parts of larger and wider world.
I think no one wants to affect something on our sun and the moon.
So we usually call situations that environments in and under the atmosphere
(that is, lands, in the ocean, in lakes, in mads and so on)
change as "destruction of environment."
(Another problem is stagnant debris on lower layers of satellites around the earth.)
If our living environments changes and is broken,
disadvantage conditions for a spices, human beings (that is, homo sapiens),
will emerge.
We will feel and find our difficulties and hardness for living by our illness.
That situation is our first notice for a breaking of necessary environments for our survivals, I think.
We, homo sapiens, have survived for a long time, that is, for about 200 thousand years.
One of strong reasons of this fact is
that environments on the earth are the very survival ones for us.
So we will have maintained and kept our long continuing living environment
in and under the atmosphere of the earth in the future,
as we can possible.
That condition is strongly needed for making and keeping our easy living environments as creatures.
A situations of other creatures extinctions which shared the same environments with us and can not adopt changing their environments easier than we
shows that our living environments as creatures are also changing from old good ones.
At least, lacks of their existences cause breaking of relation links between creatures,
for example, food chains (I think that other relations also exist in our creature world.)
So we feel push-back feelings against increasing the number of extinct and threatened species, I think.
I also think that we feel very sad and lonely feelings to facts that we can not meet other lives which we could have met.
Because we are also creatures,
basically our main survival theme as spices is to leave our spices in the
future, I think.
But even only when we think about "distructions of our living environments" as creatures,
we can think survivals of all spices of creatures on the earth in a range of one planet size, I think.
It is important that leaving our genes as spices in the future, certainly.
But I feel bad to hearing situations that other spices extinct at other places
on the earth.
