The Indian spiritual teacher who gave me my name Vimala was visiting the Nazca lines in Southern Peru a few years ago. He told the group with him that this had once been a thriving place but that the civilization had collapsed due to it disregard for animal life in the area.
"Today we have the same problem. Instead of animals we are killing people. Today the compassion levels have greatly decreased". When asked if there was a way to solve the present condition, Appaji replied, "No. It is His will," and pointed to the sky. "It is a cycle of creation and devastation. New creation will come and God will give us another chance again."
Similar words were given by Chief Seattle in 1853. The changes are here. They are part of life. We can witness and praise the process.

“But why should I mourn at the untimely fate of my people?
Tribe follows tribe, and nation follows nation, like the waves of the sea.
It is the order of nature, and regret is useless.
Your time of decay may be distant, but it surely will come.
For even the white man, whose God talked with him as friend with friend, cannot be exempt from the common destiny.
We may be brothers after all.
We shall see.”
– Chief Seattle, in December 1853
