Arctic treaty
Arctic treaty would be great, it would be assuring for all those people that respect the natural environment of our planet earth. There is evidence from the Antarctic treaty that it is possible for States to think above the normal commercial interest and corporate greed.
The commercial industrial world is too often plain greedy and mad as hell. Bent on continues churning of the natural resources into the materialistic commercial world. Corporations are driven by the greed for more money than they have ever achieved before. The up trends of profit making and industrial efficiency of the robotics and labor cuts and savings, amount to an escalation of objective financial market goals with no regard to the quality of life for the people that are in the labor force. The leaders of many nations have a tunnel vision with nothing else in the peripheral vision that cranking out raw materials and changing it into money. The are obsessed with the greed of natural resource exploitation. They may think that they are some form of god, and they too often are also atheists, not believing in absolutes, not believing that they will be accountable one day to their greedy in exploitation’s of the natural resources.

How does the planet earth benefit, of the peoples of the planet, when the consumption of crude oil, coal, natural gas are increased to stupendous levels, and the hundreds of thousands of factories and millions of industrial engines, freight carting container ships, freight trains, mining trucks, tractors, and millions of motor vehicles are manufactured and sent out to the world each week. What a bloody mess they are creating for the future generations.
Moderation of the Natural resources.
Moderation is taught in all of the well known religions and spiritual teachings through out the world. This is included in the Taoism teachings.
In Taoism, moderation is considered a key part of one’s personal development in Taoist philosophy and religion and is one of the three jewels of Taoist thought. There is nothing that cannot be moderated including one’s actions, ones desires and even thoughts.
Moderation is considered to be a key part of one’s personal development. The problem with the Capitalistic world too often is that they don’t value personal development. They only value their own personal or corporate gain, running the race, beating all others to the imagined financial price. The western teaching system is not the only culprit, the communists were just as greedy for personal career positions and zealous for climbing their institute social ladder. The way they treated their neighboring States was criminal, they conspired to invade, exploit and rampage the neighboring states wealth, property and land. The power politic leaders were driven by personal ambitions and selfish gain, no matter where and what country they raised their head.
Arctic treaty would confront the state leaders to the future reality of a clean natural environment at the Arctic region.
The Arctic circle was once some kind of a barrier to stop the industrial revolution from crossing it. It was during the 19 century that that line was crossed. The second world war was one reason why industrial metal mining went north in Europe. In some states leader’s minds wars are no obstacle to further industrial development and further weapons development and innovation, they have even tested atoms bombs in the Arctic region. Why is that? The answer is in their cognitive mind, their understanding of the world view, seen in merely as a possession, consumption or occupation of an territory. Their self-worth and esteem is measured by; how much, how big, how many, what conquest, from who, in a quantitative measure they have in relative terms. But what about the true value of life, the natural environment, and the many skills of managing and organizing the human impact on the natural environment. Why is that not seen as a desirable goal, something with a quantitative measure and true value to be proud of. To respect life, and to value the true meaning of a spiritual life. The concept of a spiritual life, the values are poles apart from natural resources material exploitation. Grabbing, hiding and stealing is no longer seen as a proud achievement, but it is seen in the light of the spiritual values, and therefore, it is more on the shame side than respectful side on the scale of true values. Arctic treaty should be seen as having true spiritual value.
