A space traveler, in a biomass-seeding ship, flew over the dry tectonic plates rising up among oceans of a newly discovered planet, devoid of life, yet having the capability to sustain it.
As he maneuvered his ship in a cross-work-grid pattern across the planet’s vast surfaces, he commenced scattering billions of seeds carried in his hull.
Some seeds fell into environments in which no life could be sustained and were either burned up in an instant, or frozen in suspension.
Some seeds compatible with desert climates fell into areas of great rainfall; some seeds compatible with wet climates fell into desert areas; some seeds compatible with sandy and rocky soils fell into rich loamy soils; and some seeds compatible with rich soils fell into sandy and rocky soils.
Some seeds compatible only to specific compositions of atmospheric pressure, atmospheric composition, soil mineral content, and with specific tolerances of heat and cold, fell into environments that were incompatible with their particular genetic composition.
And all those seeds falling into environments incompatible with the full development of their natures either died or grew into a stunted and tortured existence and could not fulfill the measure of their creation.
It was only those seeds that fell within the environments that best suited their particular natures or genetic composition that thrived to produce 30, 60, or 100 times what was sown.
What environment is suitable to your nature? Do you have sufficient freedom to place yourself within it? If so, and you haven’t, why haven’t you?
Do we have a responsibility to act in ways that as many as possible have an opportunity to thrive in an environment suitable to their natures? If so, why haven’t we?
And if all had the freedom and opportunity to be nurtured in an environment compatible with their natures and could thereby thrive to create 30, 60 or 100 times the value beyond the measure of their own creation, what would that mean for mankind?
