The unforgivable crime against humanity is not Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. It’s the one we’ve perpetrated on ourselves by abusing the natural world, turning earth’s climate into an enemy that will likely destroy us. Worse, the wealthy are the biggest abusers, but the poor will suffer the worst consequences as the end comes. And we have caused extinction of species as we go.
In some mythologies, god creates beings that fail, and god must try again. Perhaps we are our own god, and we recognize that we have failed to care enough, to love enough, to achieve the fullness of being human.
