    Are We Human Beings or Monsters? Empty Are We Human Beings or Monsters?

    Post  SpiritVoices Wed Feb 19, 2014 7:42 am

    Constant wars and constant battles.

    Are we human or are we monsters?

    Watching the news on Sky this morning,for the first time I feel afraid of life.

    Sink holes appearing in countries,earth disappearing beneath our feet,what next?

    What other damage can be done to our beautiful earth planet?

    Killing in country after country,for the sake of killing.

    Anyone like to add something to this topic of murder and mayhem?

    Sinkholes are not mysterious, they are a natural process. They form in two main ways...either the aquifers being depleted of water and collapsing from the weight above, or the erosion of the rock or soil beneath an area....such as when a water main breaks underground and washes away all the soil so that everything above collapses in on itself. They can also be caused when underground caverns collapse. They have been forming for millions of years. Here are a few...

    They are beautiful when underwater, but scary when they happen near home.

    Popped back in to answer your post,1antique....interesting.
    I understand what you are saying but why now are these events happening at this particular time?   Why not over a period of years bit by bit?

    Good to see you posting.....we need the posts.... :blush:   :giggles:

    One of the big reasons that we are seeing so many sinkholes now is the depletion of the aquifers. Once the water underground is removed, the porous rock can no longer support the weight of the earth above it, and collapses.

    The reason for sinkholes appearing in UK recently is a direct result of the flooding.  It is a particular
    kind of soil that is easily washed away, i.e. soluble rock like lime.  Hence areas that don't have this
    soil are unlikely to get these sinkholes.  Begs the question, how many of us know the underlying
    soil structure to where we live?   I guess those that do gardening would know.

    Yes,I understand the reason for the sinkholes but the word 'sinkhole' itself was new to me....As far as I can remember,never heard this word before...
    Question....now that the coast line of the UK and other areas will be changing,I suppose we will need new road maps for the future...?

     no 

    It leads to the bottom of the hole, often no more than a maximum of tens of metres.

    There is a lot that is skewed with our world and leads to considerable suffering.  It would be easy just to be preoccupied with this and be ruled by negativity/fear.  I believe in the law of attraction, i.e. what you focus on you get more of.  It's very easy to find fault yet more rewarding/beneficial to focus on the positives in life.  I believe in doing what we can to effect a change for the better/make a difference, e.g. donations to worthwhile causes, voluntary work, being supportive to those in need...whatever.  What we can't influence or change I can have great compassion for but don't dwell on since it is counter productive and drains energy.

    We have choice but can easily forget that when swamped with emotion.  Let us remember and celebrate all that is good about humanity is principally what I am saying here.

    Since you know sinkholes are affected by porous rock, e.g. lime - have you tried finding out if the buildings are on this soil?  Local gardeners would know (as already mentioned in a previous post of mine here).

    All I was told when we moved in was that the small estate was built on the previous 'rubbish dump' outside of town.   A new dump was built nearer to the town for convenience of the public.
    Not sure what is underneath the estate but in summer we do get an awful lot of ants.   Rumours recently were that some of the bungalows were subsiding.

    Makes one wonder exactly what we are sitting on....think I will have a few words with the Estate manager tomorrow....

    I suspect most of us are monsters.   A monster blames others, hoards, bullies, excludes, justifies, etc.   This list of negativity goes on and on.   The question may be, how do we prevent ourselves from becoming monsters.   Most people do not ask this question of themselves.   As one lady indicated, we are what we are and we cannot change, so why should we question ourselves.
