Goa is not alone in this craze for “development”. Canada however gets a good mark on this subject.
Environmental impact is given great weight when when something is built and developed, as it should be. Anyone who dreams that humans will go to heaven after being responsible for other species extinct and ultimately their own, must be in a deep dream. As one Indian physicist and thinker put it so well “The earth existed before and after dinosaurs. It existed before humans and will continue to exist after them. The question is: do we want to survive as long as we can, to enjoy its beauty?” Roland Francis Scarborough. > On Jul 6, 2018, at 4:51 PM, Frederick Noronha <[email protected]> > wrote: > > It rained like crazy last night, as if the heavens had ruptured.
