It is very likely that this happened as a step on the path of our evolutionary journey. However, the way we have experienced it has more often than not been traumatic. Mindsets characterised by competition, domination, control, disrespect for nature and suppression of women in societies have led our choices for millennia.
As this situation is slowly but surely changing towards a more balanced condition, we are witnessing a strong movement of female empowerment, as well as the rise of sustainable technologies and the awareness of an environmental crisis that we may or may not be able to reverse.
Even though the current situation is critical, we also know for sure that we are not mere spectators of this process. We are not meant to just stand by and see how it will go. We have the power of our own daily choices, big and small.
